Intensely dark and extracted color. Intrigueing nose, seems open and expressive with aromas of strawberry, tar, plum, and black licorish. Huge coarse tannin, spicy and a bit of heat. Full body, intense, massive, tannic, and brooding. A bit punishing to drink now but there's a lot going on and it's interesting to taste. (96 pts.)

Nice note and I agree that it's difficult to drink due to that punishing palate. lay this baby down for many more years before coming back to it, thats for sure.
