Deep ruby colored, with slight staining, and a high viscosity (14.8% ABV).  The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of blackberry jam, cassis, eucalyptus, mint, oak, smoke, leather, tobacco, black plum, baking spice, and vanilla.  The palate is dry, with medium acidity, a full body, and medium (+) tannins.  Medium (+) intensity flavors echo the nose and finish on a long note.  The potent alcohol is well masked, so buyer beware.  The ripeness of the fruit is evident and very rich but starting to meld into the background whilst the tertiary development is beginning.  The silky nature of this wine is very alluring, a rather heavy yet seductive mouthfeel. 92 points from me for this aged bottle, pricing is unknown.  Drink with a hearty steak over the next decade.   Salut….
