It has a very appealing sweet black cherry nose with some exotic oak spice like sandalwood or incense. It is smoky and creamy on the palate round and spicy with lots of lavish oak which is covering the fruit a little bit right now. It has very attractive tangy acidity and quite firm slightly dry tannins. It is still very young and not quite in complete harmony yet but has great potential to age gracefully.
