Tuesday, April 13, 2010 - This was my birthday present wine. The was lots of hype and anticipation of hearing this bottle was available. We were not disappointed. Not even close to the heavy duty, big Napa wine I expected, this was relatively light and elegant, and very complete. The complexities start with the nose where we have a combination of spicy earthiness, dark and red fruits, followed with cola and licorice. The palate has intense, but at the same time delicate blueberry, cassis, and plum. There is a smokey but throttled oak element. All balanced and smooth, pretty medium bodied. Fruit and lead pencil finish. It got better in the glass.
