(a 62/28/10 blend, raised mostly in stainless steel; no new oak):  Deep, bright ruby.  Bright, intense aromas of blueberry, fresh plum, espresso and black pepper.  Fat and sweet, with nicely concentrated black and blue fruit, floral and bitter chocolate flavors and a spicy kick on the back.  Sweet, juicy and very long.  This big boy has 16% alcohol.  (JR)
