Like every Storybook Reserve I've ever had, becomes more claret like after 10 years of aging, making it a great food wine. Black cherries, raspberries. Medium to full body, and a very smooth medium to long finish.

Opened tonight with a dinner of jerk chicken (after '07 Geezer turned up corked). Rich, plummy, with a bit of pencil lead and cedar. Acidity was high enough it wasn't a problem.

I took this to the annual lamb roast to share with Jerry and the crew. It was outstanding. There's a reason Wine & Spirits gave this vintage high honors. The fruit flavor was still bold and elegant. Great berry nose and full structure.

1 of 3 bottles discovered in a small shop in DC. Hoping the other 2 are better as this one seemed to be just starting to turn.
