Aromas recall grilled pepper, red currant and exotic spice. The palate delivers dried black cherry, toasted oak, roasted coffee bean, anisette and espresso alongside the heat of evident alcohol. It lacks fruit richness to stand up to the oak, while raspy tannins give it an astringent, mouth-drying finish.
