Great showing for this bottle.  Inky purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with cassis, black cherries, graphite, baking spice, and cigar box.  Full bodied.  Medium to firm tannins.  Great balance.  On the palate, this is intense, deep and delicious.  Almost seamless texture.  Flavors of cassis, tobacco, spice and char.  Long finish.  Delicious on its own, this will work with a lot of foods.  Of course, fatty meats but how about Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms.  This is not yet at peak but getting close.  Drink  over the next twenty years.

Beautiful wine.  It has just about reached maturity but still has plenty of life left.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  Great nose of cassis, cedar, graphite and char.  Full bodied.  Light to medium tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Flavors of cassis, chocolate, slight blueberries, spice and char.  Complex and deep.  Long finish.  This should drink well for another ten years before starting a slow decay.  It is great on its own and would work nicely with grilled meat dishes.
