underbrush, tobacco, new leather, crushed herb and a whiff of mature plum lead the way. the juicy full-bodied palate is still young and taut, evoking ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice, clove and a hint of coffee. a backbone of youthfully austere fine-grained tannins and bright acidity gives it an age-worthy structure and balance. drink 2020–2032.
