  October 15, 2010 - Last bottle....great wine! Needs some air, and cellar temp is key. This is still rich in honeyed fruit(fig,baked apples,peach,apricot), bright, and somewhat tart, citrus acidity, good dose of toasted vanilla oak barrel. Age has brought out a nice sherry-ness, hazelnut/caramel butter....but still TONS of lively acidity and minerals to keep it young. Wonderful spices, smoke, toasted marshmallow, butterscotch flavors.....really seems like it will go a lot longer. The only negative to some might be the acidity, which seems harsh at times. For me, it's such a big wine, that I like that kind of cut to it. Good stuff!
