Plenty of dark fruit, berries, deep layers of flavour. The only thing to fault is the length which if longer would push this wine a magnitude higher Otherwise a fine year; not as good as the 2007 but very good nonetheless.
Enjoyable - drinking well or wait 2-3 years.

Nice wine with thickish tannins still. Might improve or go pruny but in a good place right now.

This is still within the drinking window in my opinion. Earth and dark fruit on the nose and palette. It actually was better on the second day.
