Leather, menthol, darker cherry, mid-palate mint/menthol is really apparent. A little spice late, long finish. Was fantastic with the best steak I've ever had (Tornado Room, Madison, WI). 91pts.

Notes on day 2 this time. Nose is still really amazing on this: dark fruit including black currant but with a spicy oak invests and a bit of leather. Palate is fruit forward, concentrated and layered. Consistent with previous notes. Some small amount of sediment on the last glass.

Smooth round tannins. Smoky palate with herbal notes.
Oak is present. Can be drunk in 5 years. Too good for the price

Excellent overall. Fruity on the nose with berries , black cherry on the palate. Little smokey. Dry. Very pleased.

I'm still loving this one. I get an added note of cinnamon and a touch of leather that I really enjoy. See also my review on 10/1/13.
