10-08-11 Deep Red/Purple, almost a burgundy-purple color in the glass. On the noise, you get big black fruit, licorice, and a hint of spice and pepper. This wine is medium-full bodied. The taste mirrors the noise with black cherry, licorice, tobacco, black pepper, and a little chocolate,and oak. Long lingering finish. This wine is a little more supple, then the previous vintages I've had. I would give this wine a 92-93. Throughly enjoyed this wine with a filet!!
