Never had this grape until now. It's fair to say this is not looking favorite to be making a big impression in my cellar in future. Not sure if this wine is representative of the varietal but the nose had slightly burnt / rubber notes, which lessened on day two. The palate had soft tannins. dark fruit some dusty earth and an almost chocolaty taste. When I read that back it sounds quite good but it wasn't to my taste i'm afraid.
