2009 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2012
Sweet fruit and dark plum aromas on the nose, rather full structured, bold with rich fruit, laid back oak and firm tannins, quite long and lingering, still youthful and knit but promising.

Tasted: Sep 2010
87-89 Barrel sample. This is on the juicy side, with sweet fruits, quite light textured. Smooth and juicy.
