Drinking VERY well...I was pleased with this bottle. Tannins round and velvety. Fruit still dark and luscious...blackberry, cassis, currant. Oak very well integrated and alcohol, as always with Trefethen, moderate and well-balanced. I wish I had more!

Nose of blackberries, cassis, leather, and wet stone. Tastes of blackberries and blueberries with cranberries on the back palate. The oak and tannins take a backseat to the fruit at this point. A little on the tart side for me. Drink now if you have one left in the cellar.

Rather disappointing. Felt like it needed more age for the tannins/structure, but also felt like the flavor had been leached out by too much time in the bottle. Still a nice drink, but a let down for expectations.

Great potential but still way too young. This needs another ten years. Dominated by structure at this point.
