Leafy aromas with blackberry and a touch of campfire. Sappy and spicy, very spicy, savory, and quite expansive on the palate with waves of black fruit. The finish is surprisingly tannic after 15 years, dusty, nice acidity, but just a little coarse. Quite enjoyable.

Needed an hour to come around, beautiful balanced profile. Dark black fruit with a touch of spice. Everything integrated. Nice wine...drink up.

PNP'd over 4 hours. Fruit on the nose. The palate was plum, tobacco and coffee. A nice smooth finish which brought out flavors of dried herbs.
