Bright ruby-red. Musky aromas of currant, black raspberry and blackberry, complicated by hints of smoked meat and mocha oak. Rich, full and sweet but with harmonious acidity shaping and intensifying the flavors of blackberry, licorice and dark chocolate. Very concentrated and still a tad reduced. Finishes with big, ripe, tongue-dusting tannins and excellent persistence. I'd hold this for at least a couple years.
