Dark reddish purple. Aromatic nose of subtle red and blue fruit with faint Oakville mint. Structure and weight all 08. Again, like 04 and maybe 06? At least more restrained than the 05, o9. Only one wine, I know.Second label of Issan. Chunky texture with lingering earthy flavors that last. Could develop and I would buy a few more at the right price- a real rib-eye sort. Long at the end. A JH style from what I have read. JM

Dark garnet in the glass, dark earthy fruit on the nose, but not highly expressive yet. Tastes young, with lively acidity, tannins very in check, light earth, leather, coffee, over dark cherry fruit. Some iron on the finish. Good, but I would let evolve for a while.
