Sweet dark fruit, red licorice, cassis, and a faint hint of spice. Toasty oak is nicely integrated adding complexity. Finishes fairly long with a touch of heat on the back end, but it didn't detract from the overall presentation. Delicious and drinking well now.

Tasted after decanting for an hour. Balanced, toasty oak present, with blackberry sweet tannin finish. Lovely, drinking well now.

Opened it to celebrate our engagement. Fantastic aroma and mouthfeel. Drinking great at this point, really glad we opened it.

Balanced and full, but not overwhelming. Mix of interesting dark fruit and very smooth. Seems to be drinking really niceless right now.

A bit young but still rich and expressive. Really nice, almost as good as the 06.
