Saturday, June 9, 2007 - Gorgeous dark ruby color. I let this open up for about half an hour before trying it. Spice and a slight hint of mint, with a backdrop of fruit, on the nose. The spice continues in the mouth, but berry fruit is the predominate flavor with a touch of tobacco. More oak than I would like. The tannins are velvety, but could have been overpowering had I not tried it with food. The finish is medium to long and pleasant. Paired this with Dried porcini crusted steak. Excellent.
