Saturday, February 16, 2008 - Beautiful magenta, almost "squid-ink" (buddy's description) color. Nose of dark fruit, anise/black licorice, and that old clove gum (was it Beecham's). Flavors carry through to the palate with a bit of cedar and a hint of smoke. Unfortunately, the finish is quite clipped and renders this somewhat unsatisfying. Hopefully, this is just a characteristic of a weak vintage. Decent wine, but hoped for better.
