Age has changed this wine. While it still has good fruit (blueberry and raspberry) it no longer is strictly fruit driven. Structural elements now predominate. Still quite enjoyable and probably will be for another year or so, but it is starting to fade.

highly fruit forward even with this amount of bottle time. Lots of raspberry and blueberry with a nice core of earth and enough tannin to feel substantial.

I had this after dinner (with some Crowley Sharp cheese) on 8/31/12. It had a deep, rich and smoky bouquet of blackberry, blueberry, mocha, leather, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was rich, ripe and moderately tannic with flavors that followed the nose. 90+
