Nose
Dark red. Deeply pitched aromas of smoke and beefsteak tomato. Fatter and sweeter in the mouth than the Widowmaker, with an impression of smoother acidity. Thick with material but quite meaty at the outset, with the fruit coming up only after time in the glass. In a very round, seamless style, and long on the aftertaste. Like the Widowmaker, this should be decanted for a couple of hours or laid down for three or four years. - Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar
