Very, very spicy and a degree of tannin over its fruit level. Good, but definitely in need of food and you certainly need to be ready for the extra degree of herb and spice above even what most Cristom wines provide. I would consider drinking this in the shorter term.

This is over the hill. No freshness. Showing as big with some heat.
