This was another 5 cent sale find, but I wasn't as pleased with the results. The nose is a pleasant enough mix of dry leaves, dry forest floor and a bit of underripe plum. The palette, though, is far too grapey and acidic. The bottle claims full body, but that is not the case. This wine is thin and fleeting. Also, by day three this bottle had literally turned to vinegar - I've never seen a bottle go over so fast.

Seems Grenache driven. Balanced with dried fruit and chalky tannins.
