Lots of juicy fruit but maybe a bit on the early side of ripe.

An interesting but ultimately demanding wine. Nose is great: tangy (a little VA), rich, smoky berries, warm fur, exotic spice. But in the mouth it throws some elbows. Intense acidity, lean feel. Some chalky tannin as the finish progresses. Not a sipper. Would be good with “Sunday gravy” red meat sauces.
