**Nose:** Punchy black cherry, dark raspberry, plum, garrigue, deep spices, blood orange, leather, rustic earthiness, some VA does come through on the aromas and it’s assertive.
**Palate:** Leather, fig, black cherry, dark raspberry, plum, olive brine, and an underlying citrus undercurrent. The VA is absolutely going off here but for my palate, it’s not too bad. The alcohol makes this much easier to consume, going from a full bodied expression to a medium low body. Acidity is high, tannins are medium-ish, finish is a little narrow and simplistic but is assisted with a prickly texture on the palate that gives dimension.
**Additional Thoughts:** Wine Therapy is a cool shop, albeit a bit out of the way for where I normally hang out. Big fan of the Louis Dressener portfolio, my original idea for a review was going to be the Trebbiolo from La Stoppa (this is coming eventually) but I can get that pretty easily around where I work so decided on this one instead. Did have to stand up against the greatness of some Max Kilburg but hey, it is what it is.
Been sitting on this review for a bit so just getting around to posting it haha.
