January 19, 2010 - This is in a great drinking window right now, if you properly aged the wine. The wood, that was so predominate in the past, has been absorbed and the fruit is still there, creating a very satifying period where neither rules. The nose has nutmeg and cinnamon. The full, viscous palette doesn't eplode but lathers the tougue with apple, carmel and a feeling of fullness. We had this with a chicken breast that had been stuffed with greek seasonings, spinach and dijon mustard before being baked in the oven. Served with a baked sweet potato and apple, cabbage and onion compote it was a great dining experience. I think the wine is in it's prime and won't improve with additional aging. Drink up! Unfortunately, it was my last bottle - i wish I had more.
