Oof, this one is tough. Jammy and straightforward, which isn’t necessarily a flaw, but the balance is off. The ethanol sticks out, the tannins are harsh and sandy, the acidity feels weak, and despite the jamminess, it lacks real fruit depth. Hard to say if aging would do it any favours—I’m not convinced it will ever truly come together. Probably best to pass on this one.
