Damn. A lot of fruit. Raspberries and heavier ones maybe some plums and such. Some acidity to cut. But feels a little young and lean. I like it a lot but it's not a style I might normally gravitate to. Needs air I think. Yes. A little funk. Now it seems more like I would expect. Still will need more air

Blood orange, raspberries, green olive tapenade and a hint of smoke on the nose. Plush tannins and loads of acid. Do yourself a favor and buy this. Insane value at this price point.
