First time I tasted this effort was back in 2009 and I would honestly not even imagine it would still deliver a lovely experience nine years later. The wine still exhibitsa lovley balanced fruit. It is totally integrated and balanced - but all components are in place and acidity is not overwhelming or squealing about the wine's age. It is certainly time to drink, but oh my what a pleasant experience!

Tasted immediately after opening. Significant seepage around the cork. Almost black in color. Tight nose of mostly black fruit. Tart and intense blackberry and reasonably integrated tannins. Monolithic with a slight metallic note in the finish. Not bad for this price point. The power of the fruit carries it.

Third in a row that is bad. Stored perfectly. Sigh

This is toast. Just opened two separate bottles, both correctly cellared since purchase. Just plain sour junk.
