A very big wine with blackberry and black cherry flavors with hints of Chambord,licorice, black coffee, bacon, bitter chocolate and mineral. Fat but not heavy on the palate. It did show some heat from the 14.8% Alc./Vol. Towards the end of the last glass all the "hint" flavors really started to strut. A several hour decant at this age is in order. Very nice wine.
