  Expressive nose displaying very ripe incredibly concentrated black fruit, blackberry jam, blackberry liqueur, blueberry pie, lavender, baking spices and earth. There is noticeable alcohol. Excellent concentration, packed ripe jammy black fruit, deeply toned and thick, medium acidity and earthy mineral, and a long ripe black fruit driven finish with noticeable heat at the end. There is a hint of Pinot but it is built like a big syrah.

  Wow, just keeps getting better. Blew away the Rochioli River Block of same vintage.

  Great fruit, tannins are totally resolved. Very smooth with lots of berries, some oak and leather on the nose and palette. No hard edges...drinking beautifully. Drank straight from bottle and was ready to go.

  4th Saturday group "uptown" tasting (R&D's): Notes of spice- nutmeg- along with cherry, dark berry and a brambly quality. Spice, red fruit, plum and macerated berry with nice underlying acidity.
  
  This had been double-decanted off its sediment about 90 minutes prior to the flight being poured, breathing in the open bottle for the last hour while we tasted through the warm ups. This didn't need that much air, but given our format, it's difficult to have less aeration than that.
