Nice dark coloring; smells of chocolate and tobacco. Mouth-feel is quite silky and medium body. Taste is earthy with dark cherries coming through; other spices detectable mid-palate. Tannins are very present, and need more time to integrate; alcohol needs more time to integrate too. Has potential to earn 2-3 more points with more cellar time. I will drink my last bottle sometime in 2012. Overall, a nice wine for the price.

Not much here -- the fruit has drained out. I guess I waited too long. Very dark, some tannins...just not exciting.

Not a bad wine but it needed some time in the air to develop.
