Score: 86 (100 possible)
Medium-dark ruby; attractive, intense, herbal, toasty, cedary, cherry and red currant aroma with notes of dill and vanilla; full body; big, rich, plush, concentrated, high-extract, cedary, toasty, tarrish, black currant and very ripe black cherry fruit flavors; full tannin, harsh, slightly bitter finish; lingering aftertaste. Needs another three to five more years of bottle aging. Highly recommended.
