Very rich, very ripe, just enormous. Offers never-ending waves of sour cherry candy, cola, rhubarb pie, cranberry, Asian spice and smoky sandalwood flavors. Complex, but as good as it is, it's compromised by a hard vein of acidity, which accentuates the tannins. Edgy now, but could develop in the bottle. Try after 2010.
