Had a bottle after leaving it alone in the cellar for 3 more years. This 2009 vintage was very green in 2011. However, it really benefitted from a few years in the bottle. By last night the cinnamon and toast were way backed off and the fruit really comes forward. Had it with salmon loaf, white sauce, and blackened peas. I really love this wine right now.

93 points Wine Spectator: "Fresh, open and expressive, this offers a lively mix of cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and fresh toast flavors that mingle harmoniously on a long and detailed finish. Drink now through 2023."
