Pitch black and inital aromas of paint thinner. Burns off to reveal rich dark berry aromas. Taste is all tannin and just not enough fruit to stand up to the tannin. Maybe fruit will emerge or tannin fade, but not working for me.

I think this wine is a few years away from shining. The red fruit aromas and flavors are there just a bit overmatched by the tannins at this point. Still delicious. I have two left and will not drink the next one until 2007
