Not bad, but also not great. I appreciated the absence of too much oakiness, but there was a certain roughness or lack of harmony that never resolved itself, even after several hours. Plum, raisin, a bit of black cherry; also a little smokiness.

Notes of blackberry, scorched earth, spice and tobacco. Built on a medium frame with fine grained tannins. This really needs some time to open up, it all starts to come together after about an hour of air. (Drink 2012-2015) - April, 2012. (JD)

Popped and poured. Needed time to come together, but easy to enjoy with italian food.
