Bit of a donut wine - there's a hole in the middle. Normally a comment reserved for Cabernet, I found it quite prominent here.
Some good characteristics throughout but the mid palate going MIA pegs it back. There's a Cherry Ripe thing going on. Cinnamon and cedar trickle through before dark chocolate loops around and returns for more. Fine pepper to close, it goes ok.
Drink to six years.
