The high alcohol was very well balanced by intense and concentrated black fruit. The ripe and fine tannins were soft after 9 years and integrated into the wine. There were layers of flavors from fresh blackberry to vanilla and cedar to cocoa that showed off the complexity of the wine. The finish was long and dense on the palate. I wish I waited longer to drink and I had another bottle.

Consumed at 11 years old. The wine showed beautiful bottle bouquet. The fruit was still present but not a dominant aspect of the wine. The tannins have softened dramatically and were very fine and in balance. Drink now.
