BLACK CHERRIES, RASPBERRIES, CHOCOLATE, AND LICORICE IN THE NOSE. FLAVOR LIKE THE NOSE WITH BLACK CHERRIES AND LICORICE. LONG FINISH. WILL BENEFIT FROM A FEW ADDITIONAL YEARS OF AGING.

Zins @ Minetta Tavern (NYC): Very dark, very ripe black fruits. Lots of sweet oak, with a coconut hint, but good fruit to back it up. This was served blind, yet everyone could pick out the St. Francis signature. This is monster wine.

evolving faster than expected with quite nicely resolved tannins, but not as big & brawny as the last bottle, still plenty of fruit but not as in-your-face. I liked it better as a youthful brute but still quite good
