Moderate reduction combines with upper register red fruit aromas and spice hints that continue onto the sweet, intense and quite finely detailed medium weight flavors, all wrapped in a delicious yet somewhat somber and reserved finish underpinned by dusty tannins. I like the complexity here and finishing punch.
