On day one this has a rich heady nose, alcohol noticeable on the nose and palate(it's 14.5%) The finish is very dry and short. A day later it has calmed down a great deal but there is still some mouth puckering dry tannin, it's subdued aromatically. The more restrained nose promises a degree of complexity that never appears. Needs food. (85-87)
