Muted bouquet of dark fruit, pepper and wood chips. Subdued flavors of blackberry and dark plum. Firm tannins with an astringent finish. I suspect it would mellow with age but don't believe it would improve the body.

P: Med, poss MF, body; Seems tight on entry; Long, spicy, astringent finish; NOT seeing the WS's 90 pt rating unless it improves, which it well could. 14.2% ABV
