Complex nose of licorice, lavendar, black pepper, leather, and dates. Warm pallate featuring blackberry, black cherry, and caramel. Resiliant tannins and surprisingly youthful considering 7 years-old. Licorice and black pepper return on the med-long finish. CT suggests drink by 2008 ... I think this has a couple more years in it. It is peaking right now. Proper storage helps. Wish I had more!

Nice wine, smooth, good fruit, not overly structured.
