Lovely- dark fruit but not jammy (more dried and stewed), menthol, black licorice, wet earth, pencil shavings, and a long lingering finish. Tannins are still a little clumsy but this was surprisingly tasty. Hubby said I over rated it, but I disagree.

Smooth tannins. Touches of cedar and tobacco, along with red fruits.
