This is the last bottle in my collection and I hit this one right. It is at the end for me. It is now showing date and dark candied fruit, but underneath all that is still a massive fruit structure and body. The wine still has legs, but for me those legs are showing off too much over ripe fruit to make it interesting anymore.
The nose on this purple colored wine is redolent showing date, with ripe fruit, concentrated dark fruit, all giving way to roasted meat aromas, tar, and mounds of fresh tilled earth. The mouth on this full bodied wine holds true with deeply concentrated and extracted fruit, dark cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and dark plum, with hints of herb, date, all brought together with sweet cedar wood, and tannins that are just starting to give way. The finish is long with good acidity, black pepper, graphite, chocolate, and spice - BRAVO!!!
