Decanted about 30 minutes. Dark purple with red undertones in the glass. Dark briary fruit, spice and black pepper in the nose. The wine has a very nice texture in the mouth and is nicely balanced. The fruit was the star here - full and lush - very indicative of the 09 vintage. No rush to drink but probably near or at its prime drinking window.

Opened at dinner with friends. Grapey with a grainy texture in a rustic style.
