It's difficult to review wines that show significant bottle variation, like this one from Vista Hills. Here, the first example had a leathery dryness that killed any impression of fresh fruit, with a final glue-like note. The second bottle was better, with raspberry fruit and none of the tack room scents and flavors of the first. But bitter phenolics and drying tannins suggest it should be consumed soon.
