Tasting note: An overtly ripe yet agreeably fresh nose mixes notes of spice, plum, earth and black cherry. The rich, velvety and opulent medium weight plus flavors are still notably youthful and muscular yet the abundant sap buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the delicious, lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finale. This is also still very much on the way up and while the excellent level of dry extract would allow this to be enjoyed now, I would again be inclined to allow it another few years of cellaring first. This isn't classic and stylistically I prefer the 2010 but with that said, the '09 is excellent nonetheless. Drink 2024+. –Allen Meadows, Burghound
