This has a lovely nose of cocoa, endive and black plum, and upon palate entry, the acidity is almost spritzy. The flavors are where the gratification is, with blackberries, allspice, black plums, baking chocolate, raisins and dried herbs, all with measure of rich sweetness. Charry herbs and black fruit combine on the finish.——K.F.(4/1/2003)—— 89
