Cracked open a bottle from my collection and it was quite the sensory journey! The color is vibrant, almost glowing, promising something exciting. Unfortunately, first impressions don't always last.

This wine hits the palate with a bit too much of a tannic bite. I was expecting a smoother finish, maybe something silky, instead found myself needing a sip of water.

A hint of berries should’ve peeked through by the third sip. But alas, it seemed the fruit notes were playing a very subtle hide and seek which kept me looking for them. @Jody93
