Tuesday, July 5, 2011 - Decanted for about 2 hours, drank with grilled steak (and dry rub).
The ripeness of this vintage really shows through. Really dark purple/blue color.
Nose of ripe and dark fruit, blackberries, black cherry, currant, grapey. Heat showing through on the nose.
Ripe fruit continues on the palate. Flavors of cooked fruit, blackberry and black cherry with a not much heat on the back end. Considering the ripeness of the vintage and the fruit the lack of serious heat one the palate shows good winemaking.
