2004 Nickel and Nickel John Sullenger

I remember this wine on release, it was a bit of a monster, but always in check somewhat. A few years in and its developed nicely into a very balanced wine, crisp, juicy, deep dark fruits for sure but impressively balanced, coffee, especially at end towards expresso more, solid attack, never quite gives in as it moves towards a nice long finish. Those looking for a bit more of a fruit bomb need to move to something else as this is starting to look more and more like a decent left banker.
