This is a pretty hot wine. Very sharp, almost over-powering. There is a little fruit on the front, though not much. There is, however, a lingering grape skin aftertaste.
Overall not a bad wine. Not a wine I'd want to drink again by itself, but it'd go nicely with a thick steak or even some hot roast beef. The best thing about this wine is the aftertaste; it's all that's keeping me coming back for more.
