"Expansive aromas of cherry-cola, black raspberry, pipe tobacco and cracked pepper. Very rich but lively, offering dense red and dark berry flavors and a hint of licorice. Packs a serious punch and shows a chewy, youthfully tannic quality on the long, penetrating finish. In need of another few years in bottle, but this actually could be drunk soon, following some aeration."
