Popped & poured, drank over 4+ hrs. Overall still drinking quite well. Surprisingly plush black & blue fruit up front, decent acidity, soft supple tannins were well integrated. Medium finish. Overall a well made wine that is still holding up.

Purple fruit - blackberry, blueberry, dark currants, and dark cherry. Smooth mid-palate with nice vibrant flavors of dark berries. However, the fruit came across a little lighter than expected. Solid finish but not overly long nor deep. Popped and poured but drank out of a decanter for a couple hours. Not much improvement with time but it appears to be at a nice drinking point.

Ready to drink! Enjoyed very much. My wife who prefers Chardonnay also loves the wine.

Didn't love the 09 vintage for this wine. Normally a big nickel and nickel fan.
