Opened Magnum for Birthday BBQ with friends. Despite slight cork leak, shoulder was high. Full bodied smoothed out tannins like velvet on tongue, nice full fruit, blackberries, spicy notes and lingering finish. Very enjoyable and satisfying wine. Glad I held on this long, Thank you Tim.

This has shed a lot of the baby fat and primary fruit that I disliked when I had this back in 2008. Still a lot of dark fruit, a bit of smoke. Black berry, a bit of pepper and spice, with good acidity to keep it fresh.
