Smells pretty musty. Sweet taste, some tannins, complex, sharp at the tip of the tongue at in the throat. 13$ drinking with Lyndon in Jake's room in silliman.

Drank at Hunt Camp Legacy. Friday night with dinner. Good peppery, smooth wine. Good deal at ~$13.99.

Ok but a bit acidic and heavy for me. My husband likes it. Would go well with a spicier dish.
