Purple red.
Closed nose, some blackberry and a bit of hessian - i'd even suspectthe very slightest of TCA if the wine wasnt under screwcap. The palate also starts closed but over time starts to show raspberry, blackberry jam, earth, some spice and a bt of lifted turkish delight aromatics. Tannins are a bit blocky but not overabundant. On night 2 the fruit is stating to evolve - just - and there are some more chocolately elements.
For $19 this is pretty good. Right now it needs food, and I think it needs a bit of time yet to hit its straps. Potential to improve further if the fruit blossoms in the next few years.
Cheers
Andrew
