Sunday, November 1, 2009 - Opened not decanted. No problems with this bottle. Two thumbs up for North Berkeley Wine Imports for replacing.
Showing some clarity at the edge of the glass. Rather subdued nose of bramble fruit. On the palate: loads of blackberry on the entry; morphs towards sweet jammy dried black fruit (blackberry / marionberry) with citrus notes in the background. Ends with a sweet and drying finish. Very young and very well made. This could be a great wine with some age. Good to Very Good right now.
