Wednesday, May 5, 2010 - On the nose - cherry, strawverry, straw and anise. Great tannins and acidity and as well balanced as I remember from the last time I tasted this wine. Still young, but a beautiful wine hiding away, just waiting for some special event years down the road.

On a related note, looks like you've been tasting some great wines lately.

yep, on a bit of a streak lately with good wines - but, starting to slow down a bit.
