I did not enjoy this by itself. once I added a steak to the mix this became better. But not much to it. it was just a good compliment go a great steak. IMHO

Austrian and Spanish Wines on the Fino patio (Fino Restaurant, Austin, Texas): Multi-dimensional and well-balanced, this is a chewy and spicy drink, with almost a Zinfandel character. It was one group's favorite, and another's least wine of the flight. The fans liked its jammy fruit, finding cinnamon and white pepper, raspberry, strawberry, with some Dr. peper and spice on the nose. The detractors found some oxidation, bitterness, too much acidity, old room leathery aromas, dry cherry fruit, dustiness, and sugar sweet. Same wine, different sensibilities.

Full bodied. Quite complex. And still very much alive.

Second acquaintance seemed a little dryer and less voluptuous. Still has a lot of bright fruit, but the overall package seemed less interesting.
