  Has thrown a lot of sediment to the bottle. Very dry, medium body with medium to minus acidity. Red fruit with loads of black pepper; not very coarse tannins. Considering the price, shows pretty well

  -- popped and poured --
  -- tasted non-blind over a few hours --
  
  NOSE: medium+ expressiveness; raisins; a bit high-toned; hints of mineral and flowers; alcohol is a little noticeable; simple.
  
  BODY: medium-light bodied; rustic garnet color of medium-deep depth; sediment present.
  
  TASTE: ripe fruit; aged --- leathery prune; reminds me of some aged Aussie GSM’s I’ve had; some black cherry, but the fruit seems to be falling out; a touch earthy; some tannins still present, but not overly tannic; 14.5% alc. pokes through; adequate acidity; on its downslope --- drink now.
  
  50, 5, 11, 14, 6 = 86

  With Hunganrian Pork Goulash.
  
  Note much the same as last year - however went very nicely with the Paprika in the Goulash. Played well against it, coming up with Chocolate undertones.
