Tasting Notes

(just one barrel made): Good full bright red. Musky aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, peppermint and smoky oak, plus a whiff of liqueur-like red berries. Fat, silky and broad but not overly sweet; quite voluminous for a 2010 from this cellar, with an alcohol level of 13.5%. Builds impressively on the back half, saturating the entire mouth with flavor and virtually hiding its tannins today. Extremely long and smooth on the finish.

93/96
