No idea how this is supposed to age, but this was a weird showing. Drying tannins and a little bright fruit. Over time it picked up some sweet cough-medicine-y notes. Didn't really have much secondary flavors so not sure if it was shut down or just not meant to age this long.

The nose showed a mix of sweet and salty, as brown sugar and dark spice cookie with hints of Pecorino and violets wafted up from the glass. On the palate, acidity battled against bitters and resulted in wonderful fresh expression of brambly black berry and cinnamon. It turned a little bitter again toward the close. This is a very enjoyable wine but I would suggest opening it with a meal to balance the bitters and acidity.

Pleasant enough wine, especially at this price point. This really gave off notes of strawberry on the palate. Some tannins, but an enjoyable, everyday wine that pleases.
