The front is dark black fruit, cassis, black licorice, chocolate and spice cookie. The middle of this wine is thick, dense, concentrated. This wine had a chalky finish, likely because I probably swallowed some splinters from the oak barrel. This wine was super awesome, and probably better with dinner than it is/was alone given the fact that some food really did help to balance the finish, which is a little bit out of whack right now. Giving the other a couple of years!

I still have some 05 and 08 Claret that pours an opaque purple color and smells and tastes very youthful. Frankly, those aren't exactly ready yet either. Very tasty though. Just thought I'd share. Cheers!
