While not exactly my personal style, this is a well-crafted, powerful blend. It offers notes of prune, dried cherry, leather, and oak. The palate is full-bodied and jammy, with sweet tannins and flavors of chocolate and sweet tobacco. It has decent acidity and is nicely developed. This wine is best enjoyed in the near term, as it's not intended for long aging.
