Old bottle notes right up front like barrel char, pine resin, and warm tires, with soft round notes of baked cherry and blackberry with some light spice notes of juniper berries and bramble, hints of acetone and humid summer forest. Cherries and blueberries with minty char-ry notes on the palate. Notes of milk chocolate show up on the nose and palate. Seems to be passing its peak but old Calis are always fun and interesting ;)

I had the 2011, it was mature and opened up nicely. A hint of vanilla on the front end with smoky/woody flavor on the back. Great wine!!
