If you're into massively tannic, brooding and uncompromising wines, you gotta try this out. It's delicious now if you're into that sort. Tar, spice, just the slightest bit of raspberry acid. Great with steak, and will be interesting to monitor over the next 10 years.

Relatively smooth and juicy. Not rustic, tannic or feral (yet?).
I quite like it.

I really wanted to like this. I sipped on it over a few days both with and without food. It’s quite dry and to me an aftertaste or bitter almost unripe fruit. Not something I will purchase again.

Loved this wine. Lots of cherry, currant, clean finish. Amazed to find online for $25; buying case.
