Starts with a woodsy, slightly fungal scent, but also waves of black cherry aromas, and those both continue through onto the palate, offering excellent complexity on the long finish. The wine is on the full side, with crisp acids and a firm structure that should see it develop well through 2015.——J.C.(11/1/2009)—— 90

Very full, ripe, alcoholic, dark, soupy. Possibly a touch jammy for some.
