Notes: “Dark red hue with a vibrant purple edge. A bouquet of rich raspberry, blackberry, light Asian spice tea, and toast. Medium body and superb fruit, showing nice fruit and acid melding. A superb finish: rich, long and succulent aftertaste—amazing mouth feel. In general, the flavor profile is highly consistent with notes taken several months ago, with the added integration and seamless evolution in the finish. While drinking well at present, the 2009 will continue to improve for the next 2-5 years, and will provide plenty of pleasure for many years to come.”
