Light bodied, lightly dry, little acidity. Leathery with notes of vanilla and caramel. Delicious

This is a very dark and watery wine. By “watery” I mean “thin bodied”. The nose is light (not “fruit forward at all”) with notes of leather and caramel. I’m getting a sour black licorice thing going on the palate…it’s drying my tongue out and going down peppery…not like a Cab Franc peppery either…this one is a little acrid in the throat reaching up to the nose. It’s not a terrible wine, but it’s not a Super Tuscan either. Quaffable, yes…would I buy it again? Sure…but it would be better with food…specifically sharp cheese and/or pasta sauce.
