Rich maroon. Berry, Cherry!, very black cherry, plum nose. Tannin forward with anise, black currant, and hint of dark cherry, and something earthy. The finish left a dry mouth feel. This wine had to breathe a while before it was drinkable. It smelled like it would have really opened up after a few hours, but we were at a restaurant and couldn't wait. It was still good. This wine should sit in the bottle a few more years.
