Fair/Good on my scale. Dark to the rim. An interesting nose when first opened, but it disappeared over time. Some leather and spice early, but it too disappeared over time. Medium tannin and without a lingering finish.
Wow/Very Good/Good/Fair/Plonk.

smelled of black and deep red fruit and spice/oak. surprisingly smelled somewhat vegetal, but was not as balanced i thought it would be. drank it after about an hour of decanting. mostly black fruit with hint of raspberry, definite black pepper/spice that persisted, hint of leather. medium tannins with medium/low acidity. short finish (the pepper/spice persisted the longest, the fruit was short lived). good for the price.

A rubbery, plain 80 before breathing but a flavorful if somewhat watery 88 after an hour in the air
