"A wonderfully spicy and now fully mature nose (though with no secondary character) that features earth and dark berry fruit merges into rich, full and velvety big-bodied flavors that display ample finishing power and length. There are still firm tannins . . . . the complexity and velvety mouth feel make for an attractive combination. Note that this would be best with food because the firm, but not aggressive, tannins are less evident with something to buffer them."
