Editor note: Some bread and malt on the nose, preserves of overripe dark fruit, noticeably spicy oak, slightly volatile nose, roasted nuts and undergrowth. Oxidative in the mouth, juicy fruit, high alcohol, lots of oak, becomes more harmonious with aeration, astringent tannins on the palate, malt and bread crusts, more undergrowth, a touch of acidity, spicy finish. An exuberant, chunky wine, fruit lacks a little depth.
