Segal's M.A.S.C

dark red-brown pronounced aromas intensity of black forest fruits, oak-vanilla, earth, spices & herbs pronounced flavors intensity of mature partially-oxidised red & black fruits, mainly cherries and plums, spices, pepper, dry, high acidity, med tannins, high abv, med+ body, fair complexity, long finish. Cleary the nose was much greater than the palate. drink now!

I have tried this wine now on a number of occasions over the last 2 years and I fail to understand it at all. Way to pushed with a crazy amount of wood, overpowering tannic taste and mouthfeel - way out of balance. This showing was better than what we had a year ago, and actually the fruit up front - of which there was way too much - was the best thing about this wine. HARD pass for me.
