Monday, March 1, 2010 - Also purchased on release. I feel like this suffered since it came after the RC. It was surprisingly young and I wasn't the only one at the table who thought so. It was definitely much younger than the RC. The nose was a little more muted but I got dried cranberries, mushrooms, tart berries, and tea. The wine still had a lot of tension and if you have a well-stored bottle, it isn't time for this beautiful wine. The palate had the tension I mentioned but the fruit was pleasant. It had many of the nice aged burg characteristics of the RC but was more subtle. I loved it but it didn't permeate the room like the RC or really move me. Amazing nonetheless. ****1/2
