The aromatics are being mature at this point, the wine has picked up a lot of age since last tasted 2 years ago. It posses aromatics of dark fruit, slightly charred, and almost pruned. Tannins remain intact with decent structure. Drink up.

Nothing to rave about. Paired with Pasta, white beans and tomatoes. Tannins evident; a quick drying affect. After a few sips I was surprised by a little heat. My initial impression was that it was imbalanced with the alcohol. A few more sips that seemed to dissipate and never really returned. We opened & drank immediately.

Nice balance, licorice is obvious on the nose, good structure and length. Drink or hold.
