Doesn't show much at all on the nose. This also has a very unusual flavor profile - which probably explains the numerous awful scores posted here. Full-bodied, bone dry and very tannic. This reminds me of Madiran (Tannat) or perhaps even a fairly decent modern-style Barolo. Just enough tart blackberry and dark currant fruit peeks out from behind the wall of tannins to make this enjoyable. Very dry and has a mile-wide mineral streak on the medium finish. Definitely quirky, but really not bad at all if you can just accept this wine for what it is. 50+5+10+14+7=86

Very good in many ways. Good fruit, finish. Lots of tar and berries. Wonderful surprise.

Rancid. One smell and one taste and then down the drain. The cork fell apart in my hand.

Thin, weak, no mid-palate or finish. Cherry start, slight vegetal edge. Drinkable, just not very good...
