I had some expectations for this label, but unfortunately, it ended up being the most uninspiring wine of the evening. It's not that all the other bottles were particularly niche or experimental---some were quite mainstream and commercial. However, this wine just didn't stand out. It offered generic notes of black fruits, spices, smoke, and oak, but lacked confidence and freshness. On the plus side, its straightforward character makes it easy to understand.
