Again beautifully. Beautiful plush texture, nice acidity and velvety tannins. Great mouthfeel dark chocolate covered cherry and blackberry flavors. Highly recommended now and still plenty of room for aging.

The community got this wrong by saying this should be drank by 2015. I pulled this from the cellar for that reason but this wine still has a lot of life to it. Round and smooth but enough residual tannins to make this drinkable for at least another 3 years, maybe 5. But it is drinking beautifully right now but no rush to pop open the bottles if the wine has been properly cellared. Outstanding with our Christmas prime rib.

Very well balanced but with a hint of remaining tannins and acid to indicate that a bit of lay down could still be done. Very good dark fruit with a rich full mouth feel and good intensity.
