Friday, January 15, 2016 - PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs and day 2
-nearly opaque dark red
-expressive spicy black cherry, cola
-med acidity, med+ concentration on med weight, exquisite balance and drive, complex darker fruited with apple skin saline mineral oak and sweet black cherry, good length
-still open and drinking well now; on the modern side but has the energy and tension of the vintage and not over-ripe or over the top; not much terroir expression; overall this is very enjoyable and reflects the vintage if less successful in expressing its place; would be concerned that this would be too extracted/flabby in a vintage like '09 but works well in '10
