Plum, oak, wintergreen, and a little dusty on the nose. Decent amount of wood on the palate, but not over the hill for a 2009 and still has some nice polished tannins.

Still good character, but the 2010s seem to have peaked.

Had a bottle just a few weeks ago and it was sublime, but this one seems past its prime.

Beautiful plum and blackberry, with an almost floral undertone. This wine is drinking brilliantly right now!
