Sunday, October 17, 2010 - Typical deep, brown hued, and bricked, murky red of a mature PS. Nose at first of nearly overripe plums (almost pruney), varnish, anise, and earth tones, evolving later into more cherry and medicinal notes. Good mature PS attack - dry, subued flavor distinctions, good fruit and many secondaries. Excellent with Grilled Lamb Shoulder Chops with Pimenton Rub. Double decanted one hour before. Last sip was the best, still bright red fruit bursting forth. This bottle good for another 10 years, but I'd drink now - just decant after the long sleep, and be patient.
