  Tobacco on the nose. Prominent tannins covering the fruit. High acidity. Would be interesting to try with age, but not doing much now.

  Beautiful, intense, fruit-forward now. Silky tannins (more prominent than the '09). Rich, full-bodied fruit. Long, long, finish. Drinking wonderfully already.

  Rich, intense nose. Deep fruit dueling the tannins. Great balance w/ well integrated oak. Finish goes on for minutes. Beautiful wine.

  Smokey nose. Tobacco. Drying tannins. Soft. Fruit freshness starting to recede. Still rich, but not as pure as the '09/'10. Somewhat green.
