Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of lavender, cloves, and raspberries; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, blueberries, red plums, and fresh asphalt with a long finish. This wine is a little hot, but complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good.

Open it up and it came across as hot, jammy, incredibly fruit forward, and just very fruit bomb in a bottle. Cork it and put it in the fridge and drank a glass two days later and it was a different wine. Much more subtle and nuanced with still fruit forward to a red right fruit, but *Now has an earthy nose of a little leather and a little smoke and forest floor. Probably would’ve been better the first day if it had been decanted and left for a few hours.
