Grassy divot, chocolate covered cherry, wet, smoldering forrest, wet mushroom, beef char, and candied violet aromas fill the glass in this inky purple-black wine. Medium mouthfeel, tightens into an medley of cranberry, blackberry, black currant, black olive tapenade on dark toast, dark cocoa covered coffee grounds, all tightly wound into a fruit tannin heavy, schisty almost crystalline iron and mineral grip. Might need a few more years to really shine, but definitely pleasant. Love the austere finish. This Iron Lady keeps a stiff upper lip!

2008 - recommended by the som to us at Les 110 de Taillevent in Paris.
Really, really enjoyed this! It was full-bodied and delicious but not heavy.
