Drink up. The nose is beautiful with layers of rich fruit (dusty plum, boysenberry, sweet black cherry) mingling with iron and just a hint of truffle. The sweetness and brightness of the fruit is classic Washington, even at this age, and is nicely complemented by the subtle earth and wood. Still enjoyable tonight, but the fruit is starting to dim on the palate.

Drink up as I don't see this getting any better. A little VA. A few years ago I'd have given this a 93+

A nice wine but a bit to much alchohol on the palate.

A fully mature but still delicious version of the 10/14/09 bottle.
