Dark purple color. Full-bodied. Spice, smoke, dust, and black fruit. Ninety minute decant needed, after which it becomes smooth, lush, and delicious; before it is somewhat awkward and severe. Never was the alcohol unbalanced. Good wine, but not profound or stunning.

Could tell it had some age on it but still tasty. Don't hold onto much longer.

This was a disappointment. Very little fruit and it was overcome by alcohol.
