Very tasty, and with a classic color, but the profile seemed mostly comprised of plums, cedar, and coffee, and I felt plenty of new oak tannins on the palate, so I had this down in my notes as a fairly modern style that didn't really make much sense to me.

Retailer tasting: Spicy bouquet with some plums and menthol. Same on the palate with a good amount of acidity and drying, sticky tannin. Still very youthful. Probably wise to wait until around 2016 at least. 90+
