Color is good maybe just a touch of bricking but encouraging. Pop wow the nose is rather explosive, deep dark cherries dusted with powdered sugar. Just a touch of something herbal/dried leafy? All in all a lovely nose.
Palate is not as inviting though. Decidedly red fruits continue and the wine is not heavy, even a little crunchy and tart. The fruit has certainly faded, yet unfortunately massive tannin remains hiding what might be left under. Of course since the fruit has FedEx there’s some heat.
A for the start
C- for the finish
But fun to open and perfectly interesting for the context which it was used.

Crunchy red fruit. a bit Forest floor under cherry fruit. Good acid and structure. Should go some distance. Exactly what a 20 good something wine should deliver. Nice stuff

Beautifully balanced wine showing just a bit of everything but nothing poking out too much. Freshness in spades but enough viscosity to make the mouthfeel a bit luxurious. Zippy lemon provides a touch of acidity to keep it exciting and vibrant. Wish it wasn’t so expensive because I’d love to have this as a house wine.
