Medicinal nose, (bandaids came to mind), mustard, grape popsicle, cheap perfume. Unique and interesting but not really very appetizing. Medium body, thin concentration of earthy, meaty flavours. This got better with several hours of aeration. I love rustic, savory, old-world styles but in the end I felt there was nothing much going here. I would have guessed it was an very inexpensive italian wine.

This came dead last at my wine club's blind Syrah/Shiraz tasting.

Sadly, this wine really never developed any real scent or taste. It was a tad florally if you really tried to get something in your nose.
