    From magnum. This one is darker than the 2013 I had the other evening.
    Pretty nose of pure black cherries and blackberries. I get some cardamom too. Palate shows a wonderfully fleshed out wine with tremendous mouth-feel and structure. I get notes of tea leaf, soy and maybe cola. With some swirling I can find some violets and I do love me some violets. Certainly Spring flowers and a day from Spring, they are most welcomed. Tannins seem pretty well resolved but softly complicated and overall balance is very nice. A long black fruit finish really makes this shine. Deep, dark and luxurious, this one is killer. (93 pts.)

Glad you enjoyed it. It sounds like a nice bottle, and I love me some Sandler.
