Extremely primary black fruit and earth aromas that are \u003cb\u003eso backward as to still be a bit raw though the rich, full and massive flavors are powerful, robust and muscled with so much mid-palate sap that the extremely firm tannic spine is almost, if not completely masked. \u003c\/b\u003eHowever, as it always does, the tannins will come out with time and I expect that this will always have a certain chewy quality and will require at least a decade of time in bottle to really begin to round out.
