Spices, plum skin, raspberry, cola, chocolate and a face powder note. There is an touch of roasted fruit but the wine remains fresh. I could not detect any heat. Nicely balanced for the vintage.

Opened not decanted. Strong spice on the nose. On the palate high alcohol notes with dried apricots and somewhat fading fruit; a dry, peppery, citrus finish. Fair to Good.

Way too big. 15.2% alcohol, which overpowered the considerable spice and moderate fruit notes. Disappointing.
