Nose of black fruits, blackberry, figs, and a bit of sour cherry. Palate shows black fruit, peppery herbs, and bacon fat all riding over a lengthy blackberry foundation. Spearmint, black cherry and dark earth followed by a long tannin and oak note.

Nose of black cherry, roasted nuts, and oak. Polished black cherry and cherry fruit on the palate, with wet rocks, red licorice, and wet leaves. Tannins seem resolved but with a grainy edge to them, adding raspberry and light oak, finishing softly along with more red fruits. More varietally correct than the 2006 we had recently, but not as fun to drink.

My first (and only) bottle of this. Impressed with overall experience. Good flavor, body, finish, etc. Nothing stood out, but just nice drinking over two nights.

Drinking great now. Very well balanced, with nice acidity and softening tannins. I really enjoyed this wine.
