Hard, tannic, gritty, unyielding at first, then opens up in about an hour to reveal some tart cherry notes. Then it heads downhill into a overly tart, almost vinegary disappointment.

Very darkly fruited on the nose. Smells like alcohol and perfume. Really spicy. Soft palate entry, but then it immediately gets really gritty. Huge tannins overpower the fruit here. Gritty finish too. Tart, but then the tannins totally wash away everything. It's sort of pretty still, but just not very much fun to drink.
