From Magnum. Ruby red in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is nice with black cherries, slight raisins, anise, dust and spice. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Nice balance. On the palate, black cherries, slight plums, anise and spices. Long finish with some heat. A bit of complexity and depth. This drinks easily and was a crowd pleaser at an Xmas party. Reasonably priced, this was a nice value and a good party choice. It went well with most foods on the table but especially the chocolate desserts. Drink over the next ten years (at least in Magnum format). Originally $60 per Mag.
