The nose is very appealing with mocha, coffee and spice - but it seems to lack fruit at this time - you'll want to let this all meld together if you looking for aromas in your wine. The fruit on the palate is brambly black fruit, espresso, spice and quite tannic ... you might want to give this wine a few years for the palate to come around too - or be sure to decant a few hours before serving.
