Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - Just a gorgeous wine. Deep purple, dark mulberry alluring color. Bronzing but not sedimented. Starting to take on some color nuances of age but all positive. Nose of blackberry, some black currant and kirsch. Hints of eucalyptus and green pepper dancing around. Very well integrated oak with subtle vanilla. Man is this wine yummy. Texture like velvet. Thick, dark legs painting the glass. Slippery and full bodied. Great finish. Slightly drying but not a dry finish. Flavorful and long. Tannins are very mature and perfectly balanced. This wine with age holds none of the heat it used to, all of the fruit, and then subtle other layers of aroma and flavor. If you can find a bottle, buy and drink.
