Purple in color, magenta at the rim, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is powerful with cassis, blueberries, baking spices, slight char and a hint of graphite.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, cassis and blueberries with underlying char.  Long finish.  This is still youthful and quite large.  I should continue to develop for another ten years.  No harm opening now either.  Drink over the next twenty years.  Great on its own, this would also work well with big fatty dishes from a steak to stuffed cabbage.
