Rolling off from peak, built to impress early. Black currant, tobacco, cream on the nose. Black currant, cola, tobacco, tar, and chocolate on the palate. Medium/full body, silky mid-palate. Finish becomes a little bitter and hot. As fruit dries out, I don't see this improving further. But still a very good modern style wine at this juncture.

cellar clean-up. We drank these various places and they were nice.
Best with BBQ or meat. Fabulous QPR at $10/bottle (close-out) when buying a case.
