Olive tapenade. Cassis. Needs age, should have decanted more.
EDIT:on reflection, this is a 94. — a day ago
Violet, heather, stone, cooked meat, cassis. Less fruit than I like, but good stuff and a great deal. Quite a bit different than the last bottle. 91. — 4 days ago

Coffee, rubber, bitter chocolate, cassis, dried meat. 93. — a day ago
Parchment, stone, dried cherry, bitter cassis. Someone brought this to a church party! 92. — a day ago
NOSE: violet, heather, stone, wild berries (dense and dark). Slight tobacco. A little oak.
TASTE: nice mouthfeel, good acidity and structure (but not overpowering), rich fruit - ripe cassis. A little anonymous but a great deal for the price! I will try this again. 90. — 16 days ago
