Complex nose of earthy, warm forest floor, baked black fruit, raisins, prunes and roasted meat. Quite extracted on the palate but not heavy. Full-bodied, fresh and very flavorful with layers of black plum, cherry, dried fruit, chocolate, clove and spice. Supple tannins that linger on a savory finish. ——W.E.(10/15/2010)—— 89
