Medium-dark red. Spicy plum and smoke on the nose, with a very intense mentholated element. Then fat, sweet and concentrated, with harmonious acidity framing the black fruit flavors; suggestions of maple syrup and grilled rare meat add complexity. The long finish shows an intriguing saline quality, but this will need time to resolve its dominant oak aromas.
