A ripe and fully mature nose speaks of earth and secondary fruit aromas that stop just short of being slightly stewed. While the robust medium-bodied flavors offer good complexity, they are structured to the point of being quite firm and it's hard to see them resolving gracefully. On the plus side, there is good length and depth but this is not a well-balanced effort even though food helps considerably. I would be drinking this now even though it will certainly hold for years to come if desired.
