Fruity nose, some green-pepper evident. Medium-full body, decent density of flavour but it's alcohol and acidity make it surprisingly high toned and almost thin on the mid-palate. "Disjointed" comes to mind. Plenty of tannin. This will soften with some cellar years but I'm not sure it has the stuffing to last. A tasty drink but I can't imagine spending $50 on this.

Excellent wine, full bodied, smooth tannin, raisin nose, long finish.
