  Pours pitch black. Astringent and sharp upon opening. Does better with 1-2 hours of air. Nose has black cassis, blackberry, floral spice, bergamot. Taste is nicely soft with cherry, marzipan, cinnamon oak. Alcohol is hot and starting to separate, just beginning its decline I think. Finish has more oak and hot alcohol, almost whiskey like.
  
  Should have followed other recent reviews and had with a meal.

  Bouquet of berries on the nose, cassis dominant. Oak showed in spice and saddle. Smooth mouthfeel and finish. Not very complex, but enough structure to pair well with an exceptional Boeuf Bourguignon.

  Did a big dinner party with 3 big reds: 1988 Mouton Rothschild, 2000 Neal fifteen forty and 2008 Chester Kidder. Chester Kidder came in last. I would have given this a lower rating except it was paired against such great wines that I think its lack of depth would not have been observed if not compared to the other two.

  A very interesting wine that really shined with food. It had some dark fruits with a spice box mid palate. Would be rated lower if drank on it's own but with the brats and Belgium Mustards it was a treat.
