Clearing my wine collection, thought I would crack into this. Very syrah-ish black fruit tones, but then the rest of it is so fucking tart. No roundness or body, just all acidity. This would be better if it had aged another 5 years or maybe had just been picked at a slightly (moderate) amount of brix. I can't take these warhead candy flavored wines anymore...
