The nose was medicinal and made me wary of taking a sip Thin and bitter were the first thoughts that came to mind. Little fruit and mainly just a sharp alcohol with a short finish.
I'm not sure how this won awards and daresay it won't get much better.

Nose: cherry, pepper, hint of oak, coffee grind, tobacco smoke. Taste: medium body, high acidity, tons of red fruits. Sour cherry and cranberry. Dry. Pencil shaving. Dusty. Oak and the tannin is well integrated into the wine. Has a second layer of sauerkraut and espresso. Will not appeal to those who like big flavours (which I am, thus I went 2-3 points lower), but it has more complexity to offer if you look for it. Need time to air.

Some medicinal smell (hint of cough mixture); no distinct taste; light-bodied; no finish; mediocre; disappointing.

Some medicinal funk on the nose. Has fruit character, holds it well.
