A challenge. It's huge and extracted, with massive aromas of black cherries, cocoa and slightly sweet cured meat. In the mouth, it's thick as honey, bursting with bitter cherry and unsweetened cocoa flavors, and with good acidity. But it's disjointed and tannic now. Clearly built for the long haul, and the odds are slightly in its favor. Try after 2006.
