Tuesday, September 8, 2015 - Surprisingly purple in the glass. Monstrous bouquet of medium ripe blackberry, creosote, and cassis. Rich soil after a hard rain. Perfect tannin, firm but agreeable. Hot asphalt, tar, vanilla bean, white flowers, dark maple, coffee, and spent espresso grounds. Medium toasty without unduly detectable oak. A very impressive bottle if you are so fortunate to have the chance. Looking forward to finding and trying other vintages.
