Bright, full ruby. Brooding aromas of cassis, licorice, menthol and cocoa powder, plus a slight greenness. Then youthfully backward on the palate, with red fruit and spice flavors enlivened by firm acids. Shows good extract and a core of subtle sweetness. Finishes with firm tannins and very good but not outstanding length. Still rather dominated by its backbone today, and built to last. — Stephen Tanzer
