14.8% abv. Dark garnet color, clear rim. On initial pnp too much alcohol masking nose but blew off in 5 min: dark and brooding, macerated cherries, wild strawberry, clove, some confection. Med plus weight, mouth coating tannins, layered finish that continues to ride fine line between being too alcoholic and extracted, yet retaining character. Sweet red fruit, licorice, oak, black pepper. This wine will go for 5+ years but enjoy now with 1HR decant.
