Popped and poured along with the 2006. Warm and welcoming nose - red currant and black cherry, clove, cigar box/tobacco, cedar, violet throughout. Expressive on the palate, open red and black fruit and integrated secondary depth. Round mid-palate, integrated structure, finishing with plush tannins. Excellent - in a prime spot.

Really pretty. Well integrated red and black fruit with oak and spice and earth and lots of other nuances. Long finish. Great on its own or with food. A definite star that is starting to shine.

Decanted over 2 hours. Black cherries, black currents, blueberries, blackberries, and a hint of cocoa on the nose. Dusty earth and spice complements the rich fruit flavors. A big finish completes this excellent wine.
