09' Lail J Daniels Cuvée. Full-bodied. Decanted this for one hour +. Should've been decanted longer! I get a little blueberry, primarily dominated by black fruits. Moderate plus acidity. A good long finish. I think this wine is still a little tight(front palate). It will taste even better with a longer decanting/time. I'm think at least 10 years in it. Edit- Mint chocolate.
