Tight herbal and a bit of green aroma belies the complex flavors of cherry and spice. Not as good as the 2009, but still a contender.

On the purple side of the garnet spectrum. Very tight so after aggressive swirling to open it up, it shows Nestle Quick chocolate syrup, black cherry, grape jelly and cedar. It's full bodied, grainy and sandpapery in mouthfeel, with chewy tannin and rollercoaster acidity. Flavors of black cherries, plum cranberries, cold brewed coffee and black pepper. Finishes with a tannin assaulted tongue. MUST SEE MORE BOTTLE AGING!
