Decanted. Showing pure and intense aromas that reflect the varietal and vineyard. Cassis, dark cherry and blackberry are laced with notes of cedar, no. 2 pencil, earth, tobacco, espresso and hints bitter chocolate and walnut with a touch of heat from the alcohol. The palate if full with bold-dominate tannins, moderate acidity and above moderate alcohol and density. Flavors show off big wood tones with cedar, no. 2 pencil and toasted oak notes with tobacco, earth, cherry, cassis, cocoa, espresso and hints of dust and walnut bitters. The chewy finish lingers.
