Finished tonight after opening on Thursday. I too had lots of cassis in the nose and on the palate. The middle was a touch hollow, but otherwise this was excellent and drinking beautifully.

The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Black currant (cassis) and Stoniness. It tastes like Black currant (cassis), Raspberry, Stoniness, and Toast. The body is Full. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Long. Excellent drinking wine. Well aged.

Every once in a while you get a wine that really surprises you. This was one. I really expected it to be past it's prime, but it was lovely. I could have drank it all night. Still lively, fruity, very fresh, smooth and easy drinking, medium bodied, enough acidity to pair well with filet, not too sweet, and the oak way in the background. I was wrong 5 years ago, thinking it only had 2 years left in it. It's awesome. If you have one, crack it open and enjoy! Wish I had more.

Day 2, more stinky on the nose with Kernel aromas. Palate has much more going on with some lean and mean black fruit, medium/- tannin.
