Estimate
...marvelous...tremendous fruit density...impossible not to love the 2009 for its voluptuous personality and terrific overall balance...could use another year or two in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
...aromas of blackberry, cassis and candied violet...white pepper and Asian spices...strong raspberry quality to go along with its deeper dark fruits...excellent clarity and length. I like this wine's fat-free character.
