An exceedingly intricate wine, this shows wonderfully expressive aromas and flavors of spices, woodsmoke and saddle leather, with terrific balance between these savory accents and a core of ripe fruit. Even the fruit element in the wine is complex, in the sense that it shows pure facets as well as a very slight stewed character. Beautiful.
