Casa Castillo Pie Franco 1998

On day one this has a rich heady nose, alcohol noticeable on the nose and palate(it's 14.5%) The finish is very dry and quite short.
A day later it has calmed down a great deal but there is still some mouth puckering dry tannin, it's subdued aromatically.
The more restrained nose promises a degree of complexity that never appears. I'm not sure how long this wine is designed to age for but I had hoped for better. Needs food. (85-87)
