88 Points

Thursday, January 6, 2011 - P&P as soon as Fedex delivered and tasted again 12 hrs later using Riedel PN glass with wine at 55 degrees. Tasting notes essentially unchanged both tastings.
Bright red; initial nose sl green and stemmy followed by red cherry and subtle floral, rose? scents. Less smoke than in many other producers "normal" vintages using heavy char barrels; red cherry,raspberry flavor on a medium body, nice acidity, balanced; simple, fast finish, soft tannins.
I expect there will be bottle variation, but if half of the case turns out as good as this it will be a big QPR given the prices this is getting on the secondary market now.
