Structured, I guess. Pepper, mild earth. Opens up after ~30 minutes. Food friendly.

Decant and let that stinky stuff blow off. It's still a little tart for my liking. SS

Stinky farmhouse in a good way. Dissipates quickly leaving a nice wine.

A fine pallet of earth, minerals, and deep sumptuous bramble notes supports a this wine's moderate tannins. Paired well with beef tenderloin, which is expected. Give time to open for best expressiveness.

On its last legs but we got this for a good price. I like the softness and the fruit. Dried cherry and a little cinnamon. Slight mistake midway thru but for the price really great. Will be good with our meals.
