Blackberry, black cherry, baking spice / serious late palate acid on a somewhat misaligned finish / but for $10-$15, this one beats expectations

I liked this one a lot for the price. It’s not over complex and doesn’t try to be. Simple but with a nice body and enough interesting qualities to more than justify $13. Easy crowd pleaser.

Little on the nose, pyrazene and dark berries on the palate. Medium all through.

Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins.

A test of ageing potential….and meh. Smooth but missing a bit of balance on the palate. And finish short to medium. Say medium. Good in situ
