"13.9% alcohol: Good, full, red-ruby color. Sexy aromas of dark fruits, mocha and game are complemented by a suggestion of gravelly minerality. High-pitched and energetic in the mouth but a bit tart and ungiving, with the combination of biting acidity and firm tannins . . . . Seems to be in a state of suspended animation . . ."
