I did not decant this, so it was a bit sullen for the first hour, but after it got some air it started to show off. Deep plum and blackberry fruit is surrounded by firm tannins and a finishing shot of smoky/spicy licorice. There is a lingering note of berry fruit with just a hint of rosemary. Swish it around too much in the mouth and the tannins really clamp down. Medium bodied and moderate (13%) in alcohol, this seems to have stuffing for several years of aging to soften the tannins.
P.S. I have followed Enfield Wine Co. from the very start.
