Dark garnet/black color. Nose: black cherry, redcurrant, damp pine, cedar, toffee. Coming off a little hot. Consistent palate: velvety rich cherry and currant with accents of graphite, burnt toffee, chocolate, and juniper. Spicy peppercorn in the back. Very good length. Finishes with some dry soil. Moderate fine-grain tannins. Could use some more acidity. Beautiful flavor elements and superb concentration, though it comes across hot and a bit unfocused and chunky right now. Perhaps it may improve with time.
