Thursday, March 11, 2010 - With a couple of hours of air, this really began coming together. Shows delicious aromas of a slightly burnt pepperoni pizza, charcoal, blackberry and perhaps some Douglass fir tree branches. Quite tasty on the palate, showing heavy flavors of dark licorice (the real stuff, from somewhere in Germany), more of the tree, some very slightly stewed, plummy fruits, some pepper, and raw beef flavors. Tannins slowly build. Finish shows some perfume flavors, a medium rare steak with plum sauce on top, and nice, large tannins build. Much more smooth and integrated than it was 17 months ago, and annihilating the 2006 I had a few weeks back.
