Complex and surprisingly forward already, with a lovely perfume of black cherries with smoke, toast, earth and cinnamon-clove accents. Good depth and texture show on the palate, with dried cherry and spice, cola and toasty oak flavors. The fruit shines right through the long finish, with the spice accents again and a tasty mineral-chalk streak. Good now, better 2003-2008.
