Scored this on a closeout and rolled the dice: spectacular presentation - still inky dense full stuffing, brooding reminded me of higher end Meritage blends from Napa back when I could afford them. Just tons of fruit but all the pretty accents like vanilla & spice, cassis & cocoa, licorice & cigar box, kaleidoscope of fruit all packaged well, balanced, structured, regal w/persistent finish. Long life ahead
