lovely dark, rich coloring... nose of dark fruit, cassis, licorice & oak... juicy & sweet on the palate, with continued finesse through the finish where vanilla, mocha, & some cinammon toast spice compliment the fruity finish, north of 15-20 sec... easily 91/92
will report back later as/if the wine progresses...

what a difference an hour makes
warm mocha & full cinnamon on the nose now... the fruit taking a back seat to all the added flavors, mocha on the palate replaced by full blown, creamy milk chocolate, a true delight... 93!
