Black cherry, blackberry, cedar, baker’s chocolate, dried herbs and fine tannins on the palate. Long finish with good depth. Full bodied. Very nice wine for the vintage.

Very tight and opened more and more over 3 hours. Not the best year, but still a wonderful wine. Rich color and great nose, but not as ful and smooth as 2010 or 2012.

Soft luscious tannins. Like velvet in your mouth. Muted fruit but it is 11 years old. Goes down so smooth like it’s begging for a straw. More of an acid finish that keeps going longer than the actual fruit. Very good but I feel like this bottle was a year or 2 too late.

Aging Great, tannins are softening, pulling in some of the dark fruit, with some leather, cocoa and a little spice.
