This is really not good. It’s not undrinkable but it is markedly flat and more alcoholic than the 14% ABV suggests. Peppery notes are abrupt and loud with a lethargic finish that peters out in haste. This is what I would expect to get for $8 at an airport bar. The wine is styled “unfiltered.” I can nerd out to that and all but the wine has to be good. This is not.

Big and juicy, a little spice, and medium tannins. Was perfect with aged Gouda.

Great wine. Expected it to be tighter since it's a recent vintage, but it's already approachable. Elegant balance of dark red and purple fruits, medium acid, some earthiness, and full tannin. Another reminder of why this region is consistently a great value and solid option.
