Wednesday, June 17, 2015 - Wow, 7 years since my first and only prior bottle - time really does fly. The months and years have had little effect on this wine's glacial aging curve. Similar to an '06 Cardiac Hill from Carlisle I recently drank, this is still incredibly youthful, richly fruited and fresh. FWIW, I'd peg the Papa's as more exuberant than the Cardiac Hill. On to the note. Big full concentrated nose of black fruit, pepper, lavender and spice. Palate is loaded with rich, juicy, polished black fruit. Big and bold but with a deft balance. Well done.
