A big blast of cabernet wine, oak, tannic notes and balsamic in the nose. The flavors in there are complex, that wine finish is present. Chewy mouthfeel gives way to cherries, baking spice, oak tannins, and black olives. Yes black olives, was hard for me to place but in sip 3 I got it. Finish is nice. Mouth coating and sweet for being a wine finish. This begs you to go back in with its complexity and finish.
