Nose mature, a mix of old leather, forest floor, black cherry, definitely shows new world influences, but also some old world character. Palate not delicate, but balanced--some acid with good tannins, mostly now resolved. Long finish, some minerality. Fruit still strong. Probably near peak, based on my palate.

Opened and let breath for an hour or so. Beautiful dark alluring nose. Lots of strawberry mixed with smoke on the palete. Good strong finish. Still some time left on this one.

Pinot Noir (Wine Exchange in Orange, CA): Medium ruby garnet. Slightly restrained, with very subtle funk and lightly cooked cherry fruit, followed by a lush feel to the palate.
