  Everything about this wine says brawny. The 45 pound bottle. The masculine color scheme. The brash nose of spice box , garrigue, and plums. And then yep, a pretty solid punch on the palette - earth, big red and dark fruits, a little stone and a little candy. Comes out a little hyper but actually settles down pretty quickly like the teacher is watching. Gonna come back and score this after a few hours and maybe if it makes it overnight.
  
  Day 2: resolved nicely, a little rounder. Still fairly prominent acidity.

  I loved this wine. Needed a day+ of time to breathe. Rich and powerful, but balanced.

  Huge fruit and silky smooth. Ripe Raspberry and cherry. Medium-full bodied. Medium long finish.
