Nearly black in the bowel and deep magenta on the pour with immense aromas of rich ripe plum and blackberry, a suggestion of vanilla cream, and a thickish look to it on the swirl.
Palate-- (First impression on opening: Young, tart, supple tannins, vibrant acidity, mouth filling flavors of muscular dark berries, with oak notes and leather.)
(2nd tasting with some breathing: graphite and floral notes arising from the bouquet; Palate--Initial tartness has completely disappeared, leaving mouth filling blackberry and plum fruit galore on a rich luxurious bed.)
(3rd tasting: with dinner of charcoal grilled Prime Rib...Needless to say this was an amazing, elegant and gloriously perfect accompaniment.)
I can't afford this kind of wine (will run you around $100+) so I am grateful for the wonderful gift that it was. Thanks Beege. :)
