Lavish cedar cloaks tart plum and cherry fruit on the nose of this substantial but controversial wine. The dark fruit is offset by licorice and pine, but also by green herbaceous notes, and the wine displays high, even sharp, acidity. Has depth, but it's tight now (and for some, way too green), and closes hard, dark and ashy. Hold for two or three years, best 2004–2008.
