Lighter and airier in mouth feel but deep in complexity. A light vegetal and green pepper on initial taste opened into jammy ripe blue and red fruit and hints of pepper and spice box followed by a silky smooth finish of wet slate mineral and leather.

Punch of alcohol that still needs time to balance. Underlying bright, dark, tart fruit with floral notes, anise and rhubarb. Incredible structure with some sweet red fruits and spice. Needs time - Holding the remainder for 5+ years.
p.s. porterhouse leftovers

My last bottle of the 2010 OV and what a shame that is! Beautiful aromas of violets and fresh cut flowers with black cherries, plum, licorice and crushed rocks. On the palate, smooth tannins with an abundance of blackberry, black cherry and raspberry flavors. Light oak and a mineral-laced 20-second finish.

very ripe, highly extracted style, very fruit forward, dark fruits, blackberries, cassis, lacks some structure, but overall quite nice, long finish

Pop and poured with ripe jammy fruit up front and peppery finish. After hour open time much more delicate and prolonged tannins. Enjoyable now.
