No brainer at this price point. After about 90 mins open, it shows a big, bold profile up front. Dusty red berries, mint, chocolate, oak, green pepper, blueberry, smoke, earth, and cedar. Firm, structured tannins give it a nice frame. Medium bodied; quickly moves to the finish which lingers nicely.
