Opened bottle and poured with an aerator. Swirled a bit. Nose: herbs, dark cherry, tobacco, oak. Heather? Surprisingly inviting. Color is nice and dark. Taste: very cherry, medium mouthfeel. Simple, no off flavors, dark cherry, some oakey bitterness Doesn’t live up to the nose, but it’s nice. 86. Perfectly fine for $8. Happy to have it.
