Straightforward with quite impressive fruit and a structural backbone which makes me tick. Nose offers up classy dark fruit, fresh herbs and a whiff of mint. The palate adds nicely to the overall experience with structure and a nice balance between fruit and acidity. The 2009 Collide presents itself as a drinkable, balanced and very nice effort. Not sure it will cellar very well, but it certainly was very enjoyable tonight.

Dark as blood. Rich, fruity, chocolate nose. Similar notes on first tastes. Continued to open over an hour. Very good wine and excellent value.

Agree with CHRISTOFFER78'S note of 11/1/2014. Changed quite a bit since last bottle in 2013.

Dark and inky, this was firing on all cylinders for me.
