Still a baby, even for a baby baby Eisele. Dry as a bone and really good after some air.

Strong currants on the nose. Punchy alcoholic bite on the finish. Not my cup of tea, but perhaps well-paired with a grilled rare steak (which might boost the fruit and earth tones and depress the alcohol a bit)
Revising my rating a bit after a second glass: a little oak, lots of ripe red fruit, a little heavy on the tannins. Might be best in a couple years, maybe a bit of a system shock compared to the wines I've been drinking lately, but markedly more complex than I felt on first taste.
