Oh what a treat this wine is.  Sure, it has not yet hit it's peak, and probalbly won't for another 5 years or so.  But it is still very very nice.   Saturated dark purple color, heady bouquet of blackberry, plum, and wild cherry.  Well integrated toasty oak and black fruit on the palate, and a finish that lingers for almost a minute.  If you like wines with a tannic kick, drink it now.  If you want your tannins soft and fleshy like Marilyn Monroe, put the wine back in your cellar until 2010.

4.5 stars
