Opens with candied berry and salinic aromas. It’s tough in its youth and also a little too funky to inspire much confidence for the future. Toughness in tannins; toughness in fruit; quite peppery on the finish. It just isn’t that inviting.

A bit funky and gassy on the nose, and while the wine offers ripeness and sweetness on the palate, there’s always a little something strange and sulfuric lingering. It has its plum and acidity, but the tannins and overall mouthfeel are grabby.

Deep aromas of mint, raisin, Christmas spice and hickory reflect ripeness and 24 months in barrel. The palate has a choppy feel due to firm acidity and tannins, while the flavors are roasted and leathery but also suggest earthy fruit. Not a sweet, modern wine; it’s more meaty and savory. Drink now through 2015.

Somewhat reduced and granular on the bouquet, where raisin enters the picture along with coffee and chocolate aromas. A big wine with muscular tannins and a vise grip. Black olive, black cherry and plum flavors set up a tannic, tight finish. Should improve with another year or so of aging.
