  Needs 30 min to open up. Very smooth. Not as fruit forward as more recent years. A little past prime this year. Have a 2013 which I think will be more in the drinking window.

  Solid wine, fruit forward, a bit dense, but opened up over an hour. Fun memory since this was a wine gifted us from Tom, Dennis, and Malcom during their visit to Washington in 2011. Cheers guys!

  Un vin que je n'ai jamais trouvé très inspirant lorsque bu en jeunesse. Celui-ci par-contre avait intégré son bois et présentait de très belles notes chocolatées et de café sur des tanins veloutés et du fruit noir. Plutôt élégant et d'une bonne longueur. La preuve que ça vaut la peine de laisser vieillir ce type de rouge un peu pataud au départ. Encore bon pour 2 ou 3 années, mais pas plus.

  On the nose: Plum, soil, dark fruit/berries such as blackcurrant, blackberry
  On the palate: Also here can dark fruit be found, leather, nice balanced acidity.

  Alcohol overpowers the nose slightly but some nice black fruit develops on the palate. Well balanced with the tannins resulting in a slightly stealy and refreshing yet powerful wine.
