Big and juicy. Robert Parker wine. Not my style.

Over the Top & Balls to the Wall come to mind - super tight behemoth, tannins gripping w/sky hi ABV - chewy beyond belief. Really don’t know what’s going on with this wine as I’ve had numerous vintages and this one just seems to be way outside their wheelhouse... the problem was it needed several hours to open but fruit & other primary aromas dissipated

Delish full red from Spain. Easy to drink. Bitter taste

Rich, ripe, almost port-like nose. A bit of spice and vanilla from barrel aging. Very full bodied, loads of mouthfilling, savory flavors. Some nice clingy minerality in the long finish. Lots of oomph.

So much potential, but ultimately it fell flat. The initial richness of black and blue fruits enveloped in chalky soil just feels coiled and ready to spring into something even greater. But after just a short time in the decanter things took a turn in the opposite direction. The fruit all but vanished, leaving a one note dirt bomb in the glass. The aggressive 15% alcohol didn't help either. If I was to have this wine again I would serve it with a slight chill.
