Rich and wood dominated, where the spice is much more prominent than the fruit. The texture, though, is rounded and fat, with only a hint of tight acidity.

Toasty aromas, followed by a wine whose acidity is from wood rather than fruit. It is too toasty, smoky, burnt.

Wood and caramel aromas emerge, the wood following through to the honeyed, toasty palate. The wine leaves a burnt, smoky final taste.
