By the bottle at The Morris in San Francisco. Totaly in the zone right now. Nose is earthy, a little funky, tertiary notes starting to show with mushrooms and forest floor but still some primary notes of plum and licorice. Ripe and rich, not jammy but definitely new world. Palate is really awesome; complexity, strawberry licorice, black cherry, full plummy body, really beautiful balance. Finish is getting longer as it opens up. Terrific pairing with the lamb and green veggies. Seems like it has awhile to go yet as well; really solid stuff.

Soft, easy drinking. Smooth as velvet. It wears its age well. Not exciting, but pleasant. It's time to drink this one - more time won't improve things. Enjoy it tonight.

Good red fruits and developing secondary character. Still plenty of fruit and tannin for another few years, but it drinks very well now.
