Thursday, September 11, 2014 - Nice long decant...
Aromas are full and rich with blueberry compote, blackberry pastilles, sarsaparilla and cream soda, with huckleberry, cedar, vanilla, black licorice and hints of spice, violets, rosemary and chocolate.
Mouth-filling and full bodied on the palate, with moderate plus acid and tannin levels, balanced by the big, rich fruit flavors. Blueberry and huckleberry sauce with blackberry and plum fruit flavors are well accented by the black licorice, vanilla cream, sarsaparilla, baking spices, candied violets, cedar wood and dark milk chocolate flavors. The mid-palate density is full with a voluptuous and smooth mouthfeel. The finish is long with medium-plus intensity.
Overall, just entering its prime and should continue to drink well and improve over the next 6-10 years. Definitely a great vintage and varietally correct wine.
