I had to adjust expectations for this. I was expecting it to be fresher at this age, but it was quite mature. Drank like a 2007, delicious and drink now. Dark fruit on a soft core.

Boysenberry and cedar nose, palette of red fruits, raspberries, cassis, tobacco, and moss. Tannins are firm but smooth. It could go longer. Excellent wine. Reminds me more of a high end pinot noir than a Cabernet Sauvignon blend.

This is beautiful right now. Tannins are very soft. Lucious is the best way to describe it. Drink within the next year or two.

Similar notes. Settling into a nice mature wine subtle notes taking over
