Not bad at the sub$10 price point I paid in it. The color is purple to nearly black and the wine seems to throwing a ton of fine sediment. Nose primarily black berry and on the tongue it sits somewhat flat with medium tannins but not enough acid.

Intense blackberry and raspberry present on the nose with light spiciness following after. The mouthfeel seemed pretty earthy, almost a little gritty. I did not notice too much fruit showing on the front end of the wine, only the jammy texture which finished with a little fruit shining through at the end.

Not nearly as forward as the 2005. Didn't see depth for aging potential.
