Nose has ripe plum, milk chocolate powder, ripe blackberry, ripe black cherry, green pepper in muddy garden soil, decaying roses and over-ripe red cherries.
Palate has milk chocolate covered cherry, wet leather, warmed black licorice, charred wood, ripe plum, grippy tannins and a very long finish. Started out a little hot (14.5% ABV) after a 4 hour decant, but settled in nicely afterwards.
Last bottle of the 2009 vintage from a 6-pack purchased in Nov 2012. Anyone continuing to hold this in proper storage, may do do until 2025-30.

Wish I had more of these in my cellar. Drinking great w an impeccable balance of black fruit, savory and mildly spicy elements. Fully resolved texture, and vibrantly alive, this could take more time in cellar.

Still holding, drinking solid, a more "natural" feel to the winemaking, i.e. More purity. Solid fruit development with flowers HdP and sweet tobacco, decent balance

This stuff rocks. Blueberries, huckleberries, olive tapenade and hint of meat. In no way a sweet wine, just pure fruit. You'll make friends with this wine.
