Relatively generous wood sets off mocha-infused yet cool and restrained aromas of various dark berries, earth, game and floral hints. The rich, full-bodied and once again overtly muscular and powerful flavors coat the mouth with dry extract which helps to buffer the youthfully austere and hugely long finish. This is a 'wow' wine but one that is clearly going to require ample amounts of cellaring.
