  Alcohol quite prevalent at first and it juts out from the wine and is quite aggressive but over the course of a couple of hours things work themselves out a touch. Sweet fruit comes through with a fight going on between the mineral elements and the bigger fruit. A touch of red fruit, some tangy southern rhone elements coming through - enjoyable but fairly straightforward stuff.
