Extracted, concentrated, and very big. More stewed notes than something like a Napa cab would have but similar profile in terms of style. Really needs steak to stand up to it and probably could use more air or time in bottle to be in a position where I really enjoy it. It’s interesting just not my favorite style.

Felt like something was missing for me. Wouldn’t have placed this as Beaujolais, more tannic, has a bite, and fairly short. Maybe should have some more age on it. It was interesting but not my favorite.
