First taste of this. Something raw and savage about it, yet captivating. Intense red fruit, crunchy acidity and tannins of impressive might and depth. Nowhere near harmonious, but still provides some sort of masochistic pleasure. Would love to retaste in 10 years.

Needs time to breathe but very delicious! Paired well with beef and duck confit.
