open-grain oak aromas are out front, followed by sweeter scents of marzipan, prune and chocolate. a full, tannic palate is deep and dense, while toasty blackened flavors of cassis and blackberry finish with notes of mocha, chocolate and pepper. this is a bit rough and tannic, so cellaring will help it calm down. drink through 2023.
