Smoky, toasty and rich, with no shortage of power and fire in the hole. The palate is meaty and dense, with black fruit, black pepper and heat. But even with the unavoidable heat the wine shows balance along with attractive finishing flavors of fig, beef jerky, licorice and chocolate. Undeniably big and powerful at 16.5% alcohol. Drink soon, and with food. Otherwise it might seem too hot and burning.
