Wow I get tomato paste right away alongside spices, cinnamon and cherry fruit. The palette starts off as dusty and dry and then turns sweetish with chocolate and licorice begining to take control. The nose was totally oaked fruit and quite left bank(ish). This quickly turned to sweet fruits and then purple fruits. This is a strange wine. I think I like it, but it seems cheap as it relies on primary notes over secondary for its flavors.
