Soft cherry with tobacco and leather. The wine has really calmed down since I last had it. Very smooth from start to finish...Opened up after a few hours to reveal more pure cherry and a very silky finish.

Great aromas of black cherry, cedar, and a little herb. Full bodied and very much alive. Great acidity from start to finish. Juicy black fruit on the palate balanced out with a little smokey oak. Drinking great now and will continue for at least a few more years.

At $16 on closeout at the state monopoly store a downright steal. Black currant, olives, green pepper and leather. Wonderfully complex in the mouth. Very happy to have two more bottles and I believe this baby still has plenty of life.

The nose is blackcurrant, plums, mint, and leather. The taste is fruit forward with cherry, plums, cola, and leather. The finish is nice and peppery with a trace of vanilla cream on the back end. My experience also jibes with Armando B's and cummingstomls', however, I was just a bit more descriptive.
