- Fruity, exuberant, sweet and hedonistic, this wine lets it all hang out. The ripe tannins are light, and the wine can be approached early as a result, but the tannins are evident enough to provide some support. The fruit has tons of flavor, but not a lot of character. There are very sweet notes on the nose and the palate, cut by some acidity that gives the wine some liveliness. The wine has a touch of licorice on the finish. The mid-palate is mid-weight. I would not be surprised to find that for some this is a little too flamboyant, a little too sweet, but it is made in a “real wine” style, too, with good read more...
