So many ‘fancy wine’ markers here. Heavy bottle, evocative and strange name, horse head. You get the picture. 15% face-melter. Aromas of brandy, port and kirsch. Does not smell particularly Zin-y. Flavors are smoother and denser than expected. Bramble berries of the fresh and preserved variety. Bit of bourbon. It’s a decent wine. Could be more chewy and complex. Sorta beats you over the head with the alcohol and fruit.
