Nose was licorice and mocha with hints of vanilla smoke. Palate followed the nose but added spice, balancing acidity and a little grit from the still-present tannins.

Although the tannins are huge and this wine will age longer if need be, you should drink up now if you have a bottle. Loads of olives, leather, coffee, and earthiness with slightly oxidized plum notes. Should have drank it a few years back so that the fruit would be more prominent.

Not bad for $15! I would drink it again at that price point.
