Bold plum, cassis and licorice, and a subtle hit of vanilla and pepper spice. Blackberry, plum and some blueberry dominates the palate. Length is ample. The tannin is grainy and borders on chewy, and it'd be safe to say this wine has structure to allow further aging. If anything, it may benefit from a little longer in the cellar to mute the acidity a mite. A little milk chocolate late on, and the oak is well integrated. No hurry to drink. Highly recommend decanting.

Musty nose, Brettiness on palate. Defective bottle.
