WSJ wine from Lise. On the pricier side. Purple, nearly blue color around the edges. Giving wafts of vanilla and blackberry, a touch of chocolate and cigar. A fruit bomb through, with a lot less tannins and structure than anticipated. It’s not watered down, it just not super dimensional for the price point.
