The fruit reminded me of the Chesnaies Cuvee Prestige or the Guion Deux Monts, but with more structure and tobacco around it. Really great wine that I can't wait to put away.

The 05 is probably the closest, and I suppose it's possible that all I was perceiving was it's relative youth. But, that was my impression. The 02, 09, and 10 were tasted alongside each other, the 07 and 08 a couple weeks after IIRC, and the 05 I tasted a couple years ago. The 09 had nicely ripe fruit and spiciness but didn't have the concentrated vinosity that I like so much in the 10. And then I would say the 08 is playful, vibrant, super asphalty/graphitey/funky, and the 07 more about supple elegance (and man it really is beautiful).
