This wine smells like new oak with mint, cinnamon and other spices with old leather notes. The palate is equally complex as the aromas suggest with licorice, chocolate covered cherries, black pepper, and black cherry. The texture is structured with the young tannins and dark fruit with medium acidity. This wine needs a steak!
