On the nose, anise, cassis, menthol, earth, and leather. Dark fruit, blueberries/raspberries, tobacco, and a hint of smoke. Dark chocolate starts on the palate and carried through to the finish. Full-bodied, lovely acidity. Firm, chewy tannins. Has aged superbly. We're sad this is our last bottle. Should drink well now through 2015.

Leather, blackberries, amazingly smooth. Cherry and chocolate. Well balanced.
