  First bottle of Easter
  
  Cork was a mess and the wine was flawed. Tried to enjoy it as I opened two bottles for Easter but most of it went down the drain.

  Second bottle on Easter. Decanted for 5 hours and it remained fresh and velvety throughout the next 2 hour of dinner and drinks. Still has the excellent fruit on the nose and drinks like an old world beauty. Silky with limited tannins remaining. Really paired well with the Easter fare. 9 more bottles and I cannot wait.

  Exceptional wine - 2 1/2 years since last one and a fair bit more mature. On the nose, it’s incense, spice, earth, black cherry and cassis. What strikes me most is that the wine is calm. Rich, supple, elegant, promisingly sexy. Soft tannins, medium-bodied and beautifully balanced. Easily recognizable as Bordeaux, with its leather, cigar box, dusty earth, cassis. I felt like I was chasing black cherry but didn’t catch it. Sexy, brooding, and a bit of cigar ash on the finish. Several years remain. Wonderful wine. More than held its own in a wine evening with a 2007 Biondi Santi and a 2004 Cappellano Pie Franco. Some nights are just better than others.
