Took about 2 hours to really open and show its depth. Nice dark fruit, with hints of violets and a dusting of pepper and spice. A bit of smoke and bacon fat on the nose, with a nice mid palate. The finish was a just a bit short and slightly more acidic that I would have liked. As a result, it would be a better wine with food than on its own.

Not a very memorable wine for me - and a little bitter and hot on the finish.
