A heavy aromatic dose of funk, bramble and rubber is what greets you, and that reduced awkwardness never leaves the wine. Size and in-your-face leather and animal notes are dominant traits, and only below that do you find blackberry, plum and any mellowness. A good mouthfeel is the wine’s saving grace.
