Sunday, May 23, 2010 - Overall a bit disappointing. The nose was quite lovely: cassis, cedar, vanilla, smoke and a touch of cinnamon. Palate was where things did not quite come together. Considering the year and quality of the vintner, I would not expect this wine to be past its peak. But alas, I think it is. The fruit was simply not there as it should be. The wine seemed to lack structure, and tasted a bit flabby. Still outstanding by almost any measure, just not (or at least no longer) extraordinary.
