Not a bad wine, but one that could do with another year to two before drinking, if possible.

It’s got a clear, bright ruby-violet color, which is good, but not a lot of structure to speak of. There seems to be plenty of berry notes with some moderate acidity. The berry notes seem to follow through on your palette, the balance was OK and there was a short to medium finish. But what this wine needs is a little more seasoning as it tasted immature. I’d like to see what this might be like in a year or two.
