Rich and broad, with dark currant, fig, bittersweet cocoa and licorice notes that show nice depth and cut on the fleshy finish. Good buried acidity keeps this honest.

A luscious nose of rich red berry, pepper and black currant is followed by velvety, mouthfilling flavors of tobacco, anise and red berries. Fruity but balanced by good acidity. Pair with lasagna, pizza or ribs. Ready to drink now.——S.K.(12/31/2009)—— 90
