Incredible nose of dried hibiscus, mulled spices, and pomegranate. Leather, salt, and granite follow on the palate. Mouthfeel reminds me a lot of Southern Rhône wrapped in a Burgundy shell.

Where's the stuffing? A burly, rough Cru Beaj; showed a little fruit for a few hours after a day open but then shut right back down. Too much tannin, too much VA, too much Brett. Not enough wine.
