Lifted and layered nose of spicy cherry-berry jam, cinnamon, clove, savory gamy notes, sweet sausage and black olive. Full-bodied and concentrated with ripe taut tannins, and a smooth, yet lively texture. Packed with bright jammy plummy black fruit, pepper, leather and dried spices. Very long, velvety, persistent finish.——W.E.(10/15/2010)—— 91
