The 2005 Howell Mountain is a little more robust and not as round as the 2009. It´s a dark, deep and robust wine that is fruit-driven still, but shows a lot of fresh herbs, ethereal notes and herbal spiciness. However, it´s well-balanced and smooth on the palate, but sturdy with strong tannins and fine, solid acidity. Finishes long with dark fruit, licorice, mineral notes and peppery spiciness. A great wine of substance, drive and potential.

The wine is already surprisingly open and ripe with tons of dark fruits, cassis, dark chocolate, sweetness and minty freshness. Dark and dense, yet approachable and nicely balanced on the palate. Present tannins and fine acidity guarantee a long life. Keep.
The 2001 Howell Mountain shows tight, dense and focused with aromas of black fruit, barnyard, ash, little leather and iodine. Structured for eternity with substance and a dense core of solid tannins and present acidity in good balance and harmony. Great length with darkness of black fruit, plums and peppery spiciness.
