This is an extremely rustic wine with a controversial nose of horse stable, wet animal and spice. This needs time in the glass to open up and reveal notes of herb, cherry and oak. It's medium bodied with balanced acidity and smooth tannins. At first the rustic (if not flawed) nose was a turn off but as it had time to breath was far more approachable, but at this price I'd look elsewhere.
