  Fruit still present. Tannins fully resolved. Nice wine, but... probably better 4-5 years ago. Needs more oomph.

  14.5% ABV. Still dark in color, the 2006 Obsidian gives off aromas of plum, cassis, licorice, leather, cedar and flowers. There is good density in the mouth, along with black cherries, chocolate, pine needles and very fine, dusty tannins that linger long after the wine is swallowed. This has finally emerged from a long, sullen period, and is now squarely in its drinking window, with tertiary nuances readily apparent. There is enough substance here to suggest another decade or so of development, but the wine is drinking very well now, so why wait? 94.

  Dark and rich with blackberry, tobacco and integrated tanins leading to a long rich finish

  This wine is drinking great here. Big juice, black berries and cassis. Terroir is black stone and pencil shavings with some herbaceous oils that linger. I find the secondary nuances nicely balanced at this age; there is forest floor and some truffle mixed in the early palate and lingering through finish.
