Aroma: Very aromatic. Lots of fruit - blackberry and black cherry along with licorice and a good amount of vanilla.
The Grade: I give this one an A+. To think this wine would probably only get better if aged longer, but the long decanting seemed to coax out all the wonderfulness. A splurge that is definitely worth it!
