Sumptuous and juicy with notes of briar, spice, red and black fruit. Medium body, opulent with balanced acid.

I’m not sure if this one just didn’t age well in the bottle, but it was a bit of a disappointment. Water logged wood in a core of grape and raisin juice was the gist of it. Completely lacking in nuance.

Delicious! Bursting with fruit. Light tanin. Slight touch of licorice on the back end.
