16%! 16%!! Obviously a huge wine and let's be honest, the alcohol is the overwhelming feature here and probably always will be. Small amount of sediment, nothing crazy. And nothing to speak about on the nose, just a vague danger to your nostrils due to the high alcohol. However - if you can look past this - there's some lovely fruit here which spares it the indignity of being dumped down the drain, more than spares it in fact. Note to self, pay more attention to the alcohol level in future. Drink now and in the next three years - I doubt this is going to evolve much.

There's a really delicious wine in here somewhere, but probably needs a bit more time to reveal itself because it's not really stitched itself together yet.
Drink 2025 - 2032.
