Very black ruby; very, very young. Extremely smoky nose-smells for all the world like an ashtray full of cigarette butts. I swear. With air, more cigar box. Big old butt-kicking fruit on the palate, rich and highly extracted and again with the heavy smoke impression. At the same time sleek ans even ailky palate impression. Not sure I like this, but no denying the wine has personality plus. Very unique, idiosyncratic wine. 5-12-15-7: 89/100

This was a disappointment. Too woody and disjointed.
