This is very, very ripe with notes of prune and port-like aromas along with plenty of spice elements. There is excellent density to the larger-scaled and mineral-suffused flavors that terminate in a very firm and grippy finish that flashes a touch of warmth. Again, this may well come together with extended aging but today it's almost too much.
