Chocolate, cinnamon and plum aromas, a richly textured palate and a lovely fruit-acid balance are all in play. Mint, dried spice and leather notes accent the rich, plummy fruit. Well-dispersed tannins, tart plum and cocoa flavors characterize the long finish. Drinks well now; will improve through 2004.
