Sultry on the nose in aromas of prunes and figs, the lush, full-bodied palate is gentle—too gentle—between its easy acidity and mild tannins. In striking contrast, the finish tastes tart in this high alcohol wine. Overall, it is heavy, even ponderous, and it is noticeably disjointed. However, the fine, feathery tannins are noteworthy. The wine just needs more vitality, freshness and acidity. Drink now.
