A Birthday Celebration (Taste 222 - Chicago IL): Magnum. Opened three hours before serving. Complex black berry aromas and flavors with dark chocolate, roasted meat, plum liqueur and sweet spice. Similar flavors with more black plum. very good concentration but still a little backward despite no awkward tannins. 91+ points for me tonight, but there is still upside and I think still 93+ point potential.

Blackberry and currant on the nose. Good tanins and great finish. Surprising bottle of wine.
