Beautiful wine! Just back from Cancun... Very dark color. Dark garnet... Notes of graphite, leather, dried flowers, subtle dark berry; rich and dark on the palate. Slight tannic edge; tart. Balanced. Very enjoyable napa cab for me.
Sitting in a box in my basement since delivery. "dark" brooding aromatics of black cherry, cola, damp oak and spices. Soft mouthfeel. Palate elevation and coating. This is a very interesting wine that i love. I need to wait 5 years before opening my last bottle. I think this might be spectacular then.

It may just not be my style. Funky nose of stewed plums, bacon fat and cola. Full mouth feel. A touch sweet, jammy, but there is some acidity on the mid palate and beyond. It's a good wine; just not in my style.

Ive been looking for more of the 2009 A.P. Vin Syrah Trick Torrin Vineyard as my wife loved our last bottle - any interest in a trade or ??
Thanks!
