Hard to believe based on other reviews. This wine was on point tonight. Deep purple color. Smells of ripe berries, Bourbon and cassis. Long finish that coats and delights the tongue.

Taste at Cut. Dark olive, plum and green pepper. Really different nose. Darker fig, rocks. Palate is smooth. Resolved tannins. Drinking well right now.

The Ultimate Wine Experience (Binny's South Loop - Chicago, IL): More creme de cassis and ruby red aromatics than the '05. Very pretty nose. Feminine and finesse driven. Gorgeous palate. Totally accessible now but can be cellared extensively. Great acidity. Plump and juicy with a nice candied play. Big fan. Big price tag.

Very dark in the glass, dark fruits on the nose. Nose yields cassis with tobacco dark chocolate and spice with some pepper. Taste is balanced with tannins in play but not over powering. Nice long linger
