this is the epitome of a dark, strapping, modern wine from an old world region. coffee, mocha and spicy yet smooth black-fruit aromas precede a rich, racy, agile feeling palate, with toasty flavors of berry fruits, licorice, mocha and espresso. mint and licorice flavors combine with firm tannins and heat on the finish. hold until 2015, then drink through 2023.
