This was basically fine. Brick red color showing some age. Some berry and dark cherry flavors but not much. Mostly leathery. Soft tannins. Medium acidity. Would have hoped for more rose aromas , more structure and a longer finish.

Red cherries, spices, cinnamon & cooked meats. Rather tight & restrained. Spices, cherries, medium + acid with some cinnamon, minerals. Full bodied, noticeable tannins & minerals on the finish. Good wine, but needs to open up.
