On the nose I get beautiful aromas of creme de cassis, blackberry pie filling, melted black licorice, graphite, dark chocolate brownie, camphor, tar, sarsaparilla, and hints of violet. Yes, I know that's quite a load of descriptors......However, the wine is super complex on the nose.
On the palate the wine shows big blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate flavors, that combine with hints of graphite and mineral. The tannins are still quite aggressive as would be expected from such a youthful wine. The alcohol is definitely large and in-charge on the finish, but I can see the wine improving balance-wise with a year or so more in the bottle. 91 points
