95 Points

Sunday, January 22, 2012 - Slight seepage. Cork partially saturated but not elevated. Barely drinkable right out of bottle so i let it sit in the glass for a couple hrs and it really transformed. Nose of mocha, espresso, and various dark fruits. Much more weight in the palate with time. Big dark fruits and chocolate notes. No perceptable heat. Very concentrated. Slightly drying but ripe tannins. Very long finish. Enjoy now with min 2hr decant or hold for 5 to 10 yrs.
