Very nice. Initial aroma of dark berry, blackberry jam, with a little grape. At first it seemed sweeter than I would expect for Dow's, but now it seems drier and more to house style. Fruit aroma is giving a little fig oxidation now. Tart citrus in the mouth, more lemon than orange. Good tannins. Nice finish, not long but tasty. Not overly complex, but a good QPR at $10/375ml. 89 points now.

I was hoping this would improve after a day. It didn't.
