Since my first tasting a year ago the wine had settled down a bit. the white pepper spice had integrated more, and the big cherry, bosenberry fruit notes have mellowed. The wine has great body, is smooth and silky in the mouth, and all in all a very excellent wine. I would have scored it higher if the finish had a better follow through, and there had been a bit more complexity. This wine should last another 3-5 years.
