Held this for four years, but still not showing signs of being old. A deep royal crimson with hints of purple. Very faint tan edges. Alcohol noticable on the nose mixed with fragrances of violets, cherry, and candied apple. Nice hints of darker friut in the mouth, blueberry mostly, to go along with the candy apples and cherry. Long finish. Big and rich no doubt.

Big, big. Could sit another year or two, sorry this is my last one. To note a prior reviewer, if this isn't your style you won't enjoy it -- but if it is, share with a friend ... I'm getting back on JC's list after this bottle.

Very interesting nose, indicating a very big wine, but amazingly enough incredibly smooth. Glad I picked up a second bottle today.
