Dark in color, with licorice, kirsch, mineral and prune aromas. This registers as a ripe wine with a soft frame. It’s not flabby but it does seem a bit oily and rich, with black cherry and baked plum flavors. Finishes a touch short, but also a little thick. Drink now through 2010.——M.S.(4/1/2009)—— 88
