WinePostings told you. 

Appearance: dark purple body with a purple rim

Right after opening:
Aroma: reminds me walking into a winery, fresh grapes galore

Flavors: rich dark berries, dark soil earthy tone with a firm oaky presence, soft white pepper

One Hour after Opening:
Aroma: the big fresh grapes are still on the scene, little smoky note, earthy tones, faint spice

Flavors: big bold dark berries, dusty cocoa, rich soil, the oaky note has mellowed since the opening,

Mouthfeel: thick on the palate, bold flavors, tannins and acidity are under control on this four year old bottle. 

My Strength Rating: 8 –full
