A harsh character in the nose at first, but breathing smoothed it out quickly. Nice notes of earth, tannin, wood and maybe tobacco. The taste, on the other hand, was great from sip ONE! Lots of juicy fruit (NOT the chewing gum, however), round and mouth-filling. Nothing complex, but simple and enjoyable. TJ's found another good label!

Needed to let this air out for a while to get rid of an odor of burning rubber. On the second day had some nice blackberry. Would buy again.
