Sunday, July 18, 2010 - SQN, Saxum, Peay, Mollydooker, BV, Paloma, R Wines: A spectacular wine. Inky purple in color. The nose has black raspberries, leather, smoke and some toast. On the palate, this is huge but deft, and complex. Very smooth despite the 15.5% alc. Black cherries and black raspberries with a nice minerals streak. Long finish. Got better all afternoon long. Accessible right now but its best days are anywhere from 2 to 10 years ahead depending on your tastes. In a day of great wines, this was my favorite.
