The nose on this hit you like a ton of bricks......it's like red fruit wrapped in an alcohol blanket. It mellowed out after a few hours open, but the lingering alcohol burn at the finish put me off a bit. I was expecting something more mellow given its age. It's not a total disaster, but there is work to be done in regard to the melody.

Clear deep garnet. Cassis. Peppermint, vanilla. Low acids, low tannins. Cinnamon, short acidic finish. Tasting room.
