  Opened and poured to compare against the '09. This comes out of the gate more full bodied than the '09 initially, and showing a much riper, and mature profile. Some port like qualities here, with plummy dark weight and heft. I don't know why but a lot of the Turleys are starting to taste the same to me.

  Excellent aromatics. Fruit, flowers, earth, spices, and everything nice and complex. Palate was more of the same except for the bitter finish from the too-high alcohol.

  Holding up well, although probably past it’s optimal window. Nice color, notes of cherry and herbs on the nose. Strong cherry flavor followed by some underlying earthy notes. Pleasant but not much complexity. Can taste the 16% alcohol on the finish. No tannins left, however, so drink now if you have it

  Holding up well. Consistent deep ruby color. Twiggy herb nose. Dark cherry, cola and Spree candy palate. A bit of notable alcohol. Long, smooth finish.
