Clear, very deep garnet. Mature nose of raisins, instant coffee and a bit of leather. On the palate, it is nicely balanced except for somewhat high alcohol. The black-cherry fruit is a bit green-tasting, likely due to the difficult vintage. A good background accompaniment to grilled venison and cranberry sausages. Drink up.
