Ticks all the right boxes; plums and leather supported by melting tannins, developing dark chocolate. Beautifully structured and really delicious. CHP 89 pts

In its prime now, soft tannins, round mouthfeel, so powerful yet so easy drinking. Rich berry smells - boysenberry and blueberry - and ground on the nose, followed by flavors of berries, clove, minerals, white pepper, and a nice long lingering taste. Went well tonight with hearty cow and goats milk cheeses following the main course. My wife kept drinking it while enjoying some medium dark chocolate. 13.5% alcohol, very nice. Would buy more if Kermit Lynch would offer this vintage.

Tasted from magnum: very good balance between primary, secondary and tertiary notes right now, good tannin structure still showing, good length
