  Aromas - Lots of earthy/loamy aromas. Almost smells like dry leaves. Cedar box with some black pepper. Even a little poppy seed.
  
  Palate - black cherries and purple fruit. Tobacco for DAYS! Very smooth. Silky soft tannins. A modest finish. A little disjointed on the finish.
  
  Overall - just a tiny bit too much tobacco and earth for me. I could have used just a tiny bit more of the fruit. But overall, the scores in the 87-88 range don't seem unreasonable.
