This may have a storage issue. Ripe plum nose with a hint of cardboard. Plenty of acidity, even a touch of citrus orange. Packs a punch at nearly 16% alcohol, but not particularly even nor smooth.

Ripe, fruity, lingering acidity. Struggled for the secondary flavors. Always possible that it's my palate or dodgy storage but I couldn't get to the previous ratings.

On the nose I get sweet plum and blueberry. Hints of smoked meat and greenness too. The palate mostly follows through on the nose, but the alcohol shows considerably. A nice drink, but I had higher expectations for this.

dryer and spicy, not lush but more layered and austere

Still young, not bad, but I can't quite place some of the tastes in this wine.
