Nose of blackberry, black currants, and cassis, same on the palate, big body, mouth filling fruit, elegant tasting, at it's best, if you cellar it, give it a try as it's delicious, long, flavorful finish.

Recent auction buy opened to pair with the Fleming's Prime Rib Dinner and Sauteed Mushrooms, nose of black cherry, black berry, black currants, more of the same on the palate, medium/big body, delicious, elegant, mouth filling fruit, layers of complexity, the wine opened and tasted better as the evening went on, long, long, flavorful finish and aftertaste.
Layered, spicy, and dense without being cumbersome, offering great harmony between its significant energy and its velvety, enveloping, dark fruit. Memorable showing and a real star. Gorgeous label. Unfortunately marred by the tiniest bit of TCA without which it may have shown even better.

Bestdamncab nailed the notes and the score. Terrific bottle. Sadly just one more bottle left. Highly recommended.
