    August 14, 2010 - Nick and Colleen's Engagement Dinner at Ma Langue Sourit, Luxembourg (Luxembourg): See my previous notes from this Summer on this wine. This was another great bottle. My original plan was to finish this vintage off this year as I felt it had peaked and then wait for my 2009's. But after the last couple of bottles I have decided to hold the last two till next summer. Drink by 2011.

    August 14, 2010 - Ma Langue Sourit (Luxembourg): Slight variation to the last bottle but again a nice showing. Beautiful strawberries, raspberries and cherries. This time the difference was a zingie backbone. Added a nice depth to the wine.

    August 1, 2010 - I agree with my fathers comments (gharbour) it was an exceptional showing.

    August 1, 2010 - I will preface this note with the fact that wine has been somewhat inconsistent from bottle to bottle and this bottle was a standout. This wine is now rich red brown and dark in color. The only complaint was a slight haze. It has an aromatic nose of aged prunes, faint strawberries, smoke, and red licorice. It was full bodied with soft round tannins and a powerful flavor of baby port with prunes, strawberries, tangerines on the finish, with a highlight of white pepper and vanilla. The finish is long and luscious. Drink it now for it is at it's peak. Don't wait more than 9 months! We had it with the course and while there were no super strong cheese it complimented them all nicely.
