Monday, December 19, 2011 - The fill was base neck and the cork (which was stained almost to the top) was sound. Opened about an hour before dinner; no decant. A beautiful purple-ruby color, turning towards garnet at the rim. An extroverted and complex bouquet, offering up intoxicating aromas of cedary black fruits, tree bark, roasted venison, lilly, crushed rocks, and truffle. Medium to full bodied, with great balance, depth and concentration of flavor; quite velvety on the mid-palate, with a long and incredibly focused finish. A monumental wine!
