A bit disjointed, austere and stinky at first, but once I started eating dinner (leftovers: beef stew and white mushroom pizza) this really started to resolve and make more sense. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, musky earth and mineral, with the acid-driven palate showing notes of sour fruit and mineral. Mid-palate was slightly hollow but the finish was long and satisfying. By itself this was only an 8.4 but with food it was quite good. In this $25-30 price range I hope for both.
