This was a fantastic value, but it needs a lot of air to hit its stride.Vibrant, dark, violet-tinged ruby. The first night, the nose was almost reduced, showing a little of that tank stink. Nights two and three it really started to shine. Loads of ripe, lively dark raspberry and dark cherry fruit, augmented by loads of stony minerality. Straightforward flavors of lightly spicy, very pure tasting dark raspberry extract. Fairly full-bodied but with really nice balance. Hard to stop drinking. A fantastic weeknight dinner wine. Decant this a few hours ahead of time, and use a Vinturi type aerator if you have one. B+. This was $10.99 from Zachys.com, making it, as mentioned above, a great value.
