The nose is meaty, suggesting a dry steak. I also get something that reminds me a lot of Dr. Pepper, without the syrupy sweetness that would seem to imply. Some deep cherry scents linger underneath these other two elements. Cherry flavors are delicate and clean as the wine runs long across the palate. The structure is gentle and even, with the tannins settling gracefully on the sides of the palate. I actually noticed a second bloom of fruit flavor late on the finish! The structure remains gentle and persistent while the fruit goes through a wonderful evolution. The length and texture on this is just wonderful! 92+
