Serious medium ruby.  Very ripe aromas of cassis, minerals and licorice.  Ripe and thick on entry, then concentrated but rather backward in the mid-palate, with a firm mineral spine and sound acids giving lift and shape to the fully ripe dark fruit and licorice flavors.  This builds impressively on the back end, finishing with serious but ripe tannins that reach the front teeth.  I'd lay this down for six or seven years.
