Somewhere in between my prior TNs from 08 and 09-- violets and cherry, but less fruit, some tar, hint of 04 green but not obtrusive. Seems to be fading over time. Drink up.

High-toned violets and cherry. Some pepper and decent tar/acidity. More maturity than I expected for an 04. Still youthful-- I expect it will improve a point or two over next 3+ years.

Less high-toned than last year-- black cherry nose, more integrated cherry and tar on the palate. No 04 green. Seems tight. Revisit in 2 years?
