Distinctly woody-spicy in the mouth, lots of clove, ripe, partly boiled-down fruit, notes of cocoa, cardamom and a little coffee, slightly sandy, yet ripe tannin, warming alcohol, roasted tones, gains noticeable complexity and depth with air, very good, again woody-spicy finish with ripe juice and a little tar
