An adroit application of wood frames a strikingly broad ranging nose that features notes of violet, lilac, game, earth, smoke, spice, red currant, cassis and blue berry. The rich, intense and tautly muscular broad-scaled flavors display focused power and plenty of punch though there is less rusticity than is typical thanks to the relatively fine grain of the supporting tannins on the driving finish. This very gamy effort will require 10 years or so to be at its best.
