Aromas of French oak, camphor, underbrush and exotic spice lead the nose. The firm, austere palate presents coconut, oak-driven spice, dried Morello cherry and vanilla set against tight, grainy tannins that leave an astringent, mouthdrying finish. Give the tannins a few more years to unclench, then drink sooner rather than later to capture the remaining fruit richness.
