Similar notes as to tasting at winery except this was a bottle opened 3 hours before drinking. Amazing nose, floral, coffee, vanilla. Mouth is smooth and silky, dark fruits, a bit one dimensional but overall a crowd pleaser. Wish I had more.

A friend and I tasted this at the winery on 3/20/11. It had a great balanced bouquet of violet, baking spice, black cherry, bell pepper, cassis, raspberry, and vanilla aromas. The palate was medium bodied, spicy and a bit green with flavors that followed the nose (except the bell pepper was more prominent). 89+

Not sure if this was past it's prime or corked but it was flat and lacked fruit with a bitter finish. No score.

Tasted at winery: Great nose, floral, vanilla, a bit bitter at the end. Very nice wine. Really enjoyed.
