There's a lot of mature fruit and some strawberry jam here backed by prunes, raisins, tobacco, incense and cola. Pretty nuances of white stone and dried hay appear on the nose and the wine ends with sweet, sticky flavors of ripe berry.

This is a very ripe wine with dirty notes of strawberry jam and moist earth. The mouthfeel, on the other hand, is definitely more balanced and polished with chiseled tannins and a good spice-driven finish.
