Good stuff. Tasted better after having been open 24 hours. Would buy again but not particularly special.

Meaty nose. Pretty basic palate structure w/a little dirt on the finish.

Good, not a big fan, with air, so much better

Smooth wine. Not a lot of flavour but very dark, violet colour. Went very nicely with fillet steak.

Perfectly approachable, easily paired with most grilled items
. At the end of a helluva day - an easy thing to reach for, instead of the razor. I'm staying in.
Dark star fruit , disco tannins.

The fruit is a little deaf muted at opening. Needs time and a wee bit of the oxygen. Blend is even and just. A darkness like no other eclipsing the tail end of this wine. Unique. Worth tasting.
**update **
After some air, the true south American flavors come through! Green peeper and tomato stalk.

Dried cherries and a hint of burnt caramel on the nose. Tart cherry taste with a little black pepper on the finish.
