Monday, April 10, 2017 - MNB: Full-bodied Reds (Home (Noe st)): (non-blind - my wine)

Deep ruby color.
Intense nose of tense blackcurrant, dusting of spice and sawdust (partial new oak), and a hint of fresh-turned earth.
Dry, full-bodied, high alcohol - feels 14.5% (actually 14.2%), medium plus acid, high tannins.
Pyrazines on the midpalate are taking on a kind of burnt cigarette ash thing, which is cool. Structured and tight - needs time, but the fruit is there, especially on the nose.

Key features: new oak, blackcurrant, pyrazines, elevated alcohol.
