Great acidity and long finished but had a terrible nose of macerated stewed fruit that never blew off. First time trying this wine so not sure if it was just a bottle imperfection

Flavorful, lots going on, good acidity, a bit ripe, with cola and dark fruit, would have appreciated a bit more poise, but a very distinctive and serious vineyard
