Thursday, July 26, 2012 - I was reviewing a previous tasting note and it basically covered everything I wanted.
Dark color with purple showing around the edges. Mild sweet cherry initially with a meatiness to it. Taste a bit of stone, anise and peppery spice with a bite, mid palate the mildly tart cherry shows up and hangs around through a very long finish.
I'll add the tannins are rounded out but the stuffing is there to hold together for more years.
