Lots of cinnamon and clove overlaying dark cherry, ripe strawberry, plum, cedar, and oak. Light tannins, medium alcohol, high acid, and long finish. They toned down the alcohol and amped the oak in this vintage as compared to a 2014 I’ve tasted, which is slight improvement in my opinion, but backing off the oak would be even better.
