A fairly intense initial aroma of barnyard and leather blows off to reveal a nose of beautiful earth, cinnamon and caramel. Appealing violet, anise and leathery flavors on the still-tight palate. Nice fruit-to-acid balance and a brisk, spicy finish. In a slight ugly-duckling phase, there are very nice elements here. Hold for a year or two.
