NOSE: yeast, leafy herbs, cocoa. All pretty restrained.
TASTE: mild earthy barnyard European quality (I always think Italian wine with this taste, though this isn’t Italian), red fruit. A little thin. Tobacco and savoury herbs (dried oregano?) finish. Pretty decent for $8!
EDIT: some darker fruit like cassis and blackberry came out the next day - much improved! Raising score from 86 to 88. Definitely going to try this again with a long decant.
