Fresh cherries, cinnamon, plum brandy, mocha chocolate, fennel seed and cigar box. There are also delicate hints of black pepper, brown butter and toasty oak flavors that combine with rich and juicy mouth watering balance.

Bright red fruit up front, with a bit of spice behind, but a short finish. Has a surprising amout of fruit left for a 10-year old wine. Could have probably gone a few more years.

Tasting note from memory. This bottle seemed lighter with less fruit than when tasted last (2006). I suspect it was drinking much better in 06 and 07. A hour of air seemed to help.

Blaze'. Hints of its once full taste were evident, but lacked most of the qualities found in D2. In all fairness the cork was soft on the air side, and I could smell the wine on that side, but no foul smells. Just Blaze'.

This was fantastic! Must of the fruit is gone, but what's left is a beautiful, sophisticated wine.
