Light and lacks flavor and aroma. Pleasant and ok for the price point. But there are more interesting wines for this price.

Piggy, barnyard nose upon opening, with hints of leather. Medium tannins and dry, with sweet, ripe cherry and plum or licorice.

Big dark fruit up front. Earthy, leathery on the tongue. Quite enjoyable.
