This bottle and the 2008 vintage aged very well. As a very mature wine it retains enough acidity to drive the mellow plum cherryand raisin fruit. Tannins added the right structure for this wine to age so well. Glad I kept back the last bottle because I thought highly of the 2008 vintage from this region. Gone but not forgotten.

Spicy plum licorice and cinnamon peach. Dark intensity. Lush and full mouth feel. Delicious. Pepper heat. Bell pepper.

Dark fruit with floral nose. Dark intensity. Cherry cola. Rasberry cinnamon spice. Rich oak tanins, superb not bitter. Banana cream. Acids very soft.
