A nice red, good tannins and bright dark cherry and black currant throughout. Sadly, there are $20.00 bottles that are better than this $70.00 bottle. This does not live up to the price.

I’d like to write more but all I can say is that it was average all around. Nothing really stood out that’s worth noting. It’s a red wine and probably 10,000 other bottles like it in circulation.
