Garnet colored, red berries on the nose with earthy undertones. Fruity and spicy on the palate with the right level of acidity. Tannins are still high. Unfortunately the prominent alcohol is a hindrance to fully appreciate the flavors. Chewy mid-palate with herbs and chocolate on the finish. Too bad the alcohol is so high. This would have been a superb tasting. I think it can easily last a couple more years.
