Initially quite closed, but opened up considerably the second day. Biodynamic Bordeaux for <$20? Yes please.

Strong contender for my humble "house claret" (sorry, reading too much Harry Waugh). Organic/biodynamic too.

Tart cranberry and blackberry jam with dusty minerality, good acid, and short puckering finish. Aromas of red and black fruits, mushroom, and tar. No hint of oak anywhere,....fresh and vibrant. Would go nice with lightly seasoned beef dishes.
