A fresh and still largely primary nose is composed by notes of red and dark berries along with noticeable wood influence. The concentrated, powerful and serious larger-scaled flavors are overtly muscular though the exceptionally tannic and somewhat tough finish disrupts the balance. The density is impressive as is the power but this is likely to dry out before the tannins resolve, which is why I suggest that this be drunk over the next few years with an appropriate dish. 88/now+
