Very good, but bit disappointing for this Phenom. Beautiful color and aromas, but on the palate it opened nicely with basic cassis and black cherry, but midpalate showed someherbal notes, along with a bit of tarty bite. Finished fine, just not what we expected. Paired with an prime Steak Florentine, and a good match.

Suggested by wine store. Not much complexity, nor a lot of fruit. Best I can say is it was rathEr bland--drinkable, but not worth the price point.

Had to help myself to another bottle this evening, I'm still surprised how the licorice taste has developed.
