Top Notes For
Deep purple hue. Dried black cherry with a lightly jammy aspect. Blown away by the chalky minerality, like crunching on some drywall (but in a good way, I promise!) Fairly big (but smooth) tannins. Good acid, Medium finish. Needed long decant ( >3.5 hours) to resolve some of the chalkiness. Decent for the price, good QPR. Another Eric Solomon import...

Liked previous label better

This was good. Dark fruits and earthy, but very smooth. Definitely a good bargain for $14
