Tasting note: Moderate wood influence sets off spicy and admirably fresh black fruit and warm earth aromas that precede the rich and quite seductively textured and palate staining flavors that possess good volume and a taut muscularity on the long and reasonably powerful finish. This is really quite good if not truly exceptional. (90-92pts Burghound)
