Decent weeknight dinner wine. Nose starts out with nothing but leather, but with air, earth, balsamic notes, and a teensy bit of fruit emerge. A bit dilute in the mouth, but with good acids.
UPDATE: I kept this under a vacuum closure for 2 nights, and on night 3 it’s much more enjoyable. Lot more fruit and it seems to have come into harmony. Upping significantly from 8.5 to 8.9
