Alluring on the nose, with herbs, spice, olive and mocha accenting rugged berry aromas. Big and jammy in the mouth, with black plum circled by coffee and clove notes. Weighs in as large, and it’s tannic as nails. But if you like yours ripe and ready, this should make the grade. Imported by Remy Cointreau USA. ——M.S.(7/1/2006)—— 88
