October 1, 2021 - US BYO (Esmee): Dark cherries, liquorice, coffee and different spices. Overall, a nice impression, but there was a wall of tannins and the wine never really opened up.
The aftertaste is highly bitter which is something that I normally don't enjoy. It didn't interfere with me as much this time, but it did feel like the wine was slightly off balance.
Still, not a bad wine. It just needs time!1,986 views
