How this wine feels

This feels full and concentrated, with firm tannins giving noticeable grip. Ripe fruit balances the structure, while spice and chocolate carry the finish. It is generous but clearly defined.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
