Tasted May 11, 2007 at home. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose was a little hot at first but that blew off with a little time. Aromas of black berries and currants dominated at first. With added time in glass took on some additional aromas of burnt sugar, plums and a little mint. Simple and straightforward palate of red berries and red cherries. Light acidity, light to medium tannins, light to medium body. (86 pts.)
