Vivid cherry cordial nose. Sweet red fruit on the palate, with some cloves and floral notes. Solid Zin and very enjoyable.

This is still excellent, but earlier bottles I had were even more impressive. These last two bottles, including this magnum, were just a touch less fresh. For this vintage, at least, I seemed to like it best at 5-6 years post-vintage.

Cellared from release. Color: dark cranberry with watery rim. Nose: berry/cherry tart and a mint Skol bandit. Palate: black fruits, dill and pepper spice. Bittersweet tannins softening but very much still present. 09 has a lot more life yet but I'm really liking where it is now.
