This vintage release at ten years old was still at or near its peak, despite some hint of age in its color. Dark inky garnet color with a slight brownish hue, this is concentrated and rich, with full aromas and dense flavors of black raspberry and boysenberry with hints of blueberry fruit intermixed with black pepper, spice and hints of wood and mocha on a firm tannin finish.

The wine was a deep garnet is color and very thick. Some residue on the side ofhte bottle. Smooth and round on the tongue with deep red fruit and earth. Red and purple berries, cedar, and vanilla. WOnderful mouth feel with medium long finish. Delightful and a big hit.

Massive structure in here! Popped & pored, it needed a few minutes of air time to let some of the alcohol blow off the nose. What a treat! There's still enough tannin to let it age another year or so, but I'd drink sooner than later. This is one of the better Harrtfords I've ever had.

This wine is ready to drink, if not a little bit past its prime.
