This has aromas suggesting leafy underbrush, menthol and dark spice. The robust one-dimensional palate offers dried fig, raisin, clove and a green note of powdered sage. Raspy tannins and the heat of evident alcohol dominate the astringent finish.

Aromas of tobacco, coffee, mocha and plum cake lead the nose on this brawny wine. The dense, one-dimensional palate delivers chocolate-covered cherry, vanilla and bitter prune alongside polished tannins. Drink through 2017.
