Saturday, June 26, 2010 - Compared to the 98 Tig recently tasted, this had less plum, more black than red cherry, lots more cocoa, some brown sugar (I would have guessed some merlot in it had this been blind.) The herbal component did not emerge until about an hour after pouring. Less pepper and leather than the 98. Drank with london broil which had been marinated in balsamic cream, evoo, oregano, garlic, salt & pepper, then grilled indirectly with maple wood.

Day two revealed cherries and pepper, but little else. Still tasty, but not nearly as complex.
