On the nose, dark currants, smoke, grilled meats, black licorice anise, white pepper, milk & dark chocolate, dry powdery soil with stones & dark decayed flowers. The palate is rich & thick. Dark currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, strawberries after it opens up, dark chocolate, mocha, caramel, violets, dark flowers, dry stones with dry top soil, grilled meats, pepper & black licorice anise. Still quite big...needs time to develop. Good round acidity and lush, sexy long finish.
