September 7, 2010 - Very interesting wine - cloudy and garnet in color from age, but still with so much life in it. Dark cherry, licorice, espresso and chocolate on the nose, with a touch of clove and sweet smoke on the palate. Can't say much for how this wine tasted on release, but sure feels like it's in its sweet spot right now. If you have any in your cellar, open soon. You won't regret it.
