Sunday, October 25, 2009 - Paul K in SF (San Francisco): Great nose on opening, but too a god hour or more to open up. Despite being a ripe year, this shows is soul as well as it sense of place. Olive tapenade, boysenberries, violets and damp earthiness make for an enticing nose. Layered, but tight complexity unwind all night. Fiishing the bottle back in my hotel room 4 hours after opening, the last drop is the best. Really needs five more years, but just a wonderful expression of Hermitage.
