Drank at a tasting with John Caldwell. Out of magnum. Maybe the best wine of the tasting. Impressive for the vintage, great texture, long finish, and wonderfully complex.

Six hour decant. Deep, dark, glossy, sultry ruby color. Moss, black cherry, tobacco, molasses, fresh basil, black tea leaves and the toasted barrel with hint of vanilla (signature Caldwell scent) on the wonderfully complex nose. Smooth, rich, deep palate with some nice blueberry and tobacco notes. Beautiful acidity on the front and mid-palate with mouth drying tannins on the back end. Rounded tannins on long, lingering finish.

Notes of cedar. Still plenty of tannins.
