Surprisingly youthful with rich but not cloying cherry and strawberry and hints of mint and leather, supported by a lot of supple tannin that holds the fruit in place. It still has a lot of life left in it.

Slightly cloudy medium brownish garnet with pale rouge rim. Oxidative aromas of raisins, baked prunes, fresh figs, some savory herbs. Dry medium+ body full throttle taste confirms dried dark fruits. Medium acidity. Savory herbs and game finish with back end heat and dark sweet fruit lingering. 14.5% alcohol

I thought this was marvelous stuff. Fully mature and ready to drink. Nose - dry mushrooms. Mouth - incredibly smooth, well integrated, slightly lacking in tannin suggesting to me drink now. Yum.
