Sunday, December 13, 2009 - Dark color can only see a hint of the bottom of the glass.
Powerful nose a lot vanilla, perfume, caramel candy
Taste: tons of licorice, spice, pepper,plum, dark dried fruit, tannins present but not overwhelming. Good length and aftertaste. Would be an excellent companion for a big juicy steak.
Very nice wine, but perhaps not all that nuanced considering the pricetag.
