Meaty, muddled brambleberry with a hint of smoke and alcohol. The palette is intensely sour and unapologetically dry - the black, bramble fruit eventually catches up, but it gets pushed out of the way by earth almost immediately. This one could use some serious time decanting. It's almost 50% Mourvèdre, which is different, but I'm not familiar enough with the grape to know what I should be looking for.
