Stewed prune, scorched earth, leather, menthol and leafy underbrush aromas set the tone. The ripe, jammy palate offers dried black cherry, clove and anise framed in densely packed, dusty tannins that leave an astringent finish. Give the tannins another year or two to unfold but drink sooner rather than later to capture the remaining fruit.
