Opaque ruby. Exotic black and blue fruits, incense and smoky Indian spices on the explosively perfumed nose. Sweet, round and fleshy in the mouth, with primary dark fruit flavors complicated by hints of candied violet, cola and licorice. Chewy, building tannins give shape and structure to the wine's youthful fruit, which dominates the very long, broad, juicy finish. There's great potential here but I'd give the wine at least a few more years in the cellar for its components to harmonize more completely.
