  February 22, 2021 - Not going to score this. It’s not a bad wine; it’s just not my style. At all. It’s B.I.G. Out of the starting gate it was thick and syrupy: all cola, ripe raspberry liqueur, milk chocolate. But there was plenty of acidity which certainly helped. An hour in the glass and it had improved: a bit less syrup, more tertiary bramble and spice. Or perhaps I was just getting used to it. On day 2 the raspberry liqueur was still dominant, but the wood spice was also really coming through. Not a subtle wine, that’s for sure.
