Decent, but not knocking my socks off.

Deep ruby in color. Juicy dark fruit (blueberry?), baking spice, oak, vanilla, sanding sugar/Lemonheads, and an earthy note I can’t pin down with a description on the nose. Blueberry, blackberry, and baking spice on the palate. Medium plus acidity and structured tannins, while the mouthfeel isn’t disappointing it doesn’t wow. Oak, cocoa and an earthiness on the finish as well as a slight alcoholic heat.
