93 Points

Sunday, March 8, 2009 - We decanted this, but didn't let it sit for very long prior to diving in. Scents of blackberry liqueur, cassis and black licorice dominate with a touch of earth or perhaps pencil shavings in the background. Initially a little tight but really rounded out nicely after an hour or so to show a wonderful silky texture with a nice balance of fruit and tannin. Very enjoyable and it showed best right as we were finishing the bottle. Next time out we'll decent this for at least 2 or 3 hours before consumption as I think that would be the perfect treatment at this stage of development, or perhaps wait just a couple or so more years. 92-94.
