Nose is meaty and blue fruit. Similar on the palate, plus some chocolate. This is doing wonderfully. Tannins are resolved and the acid is still bright while holding things together.
Great wine, not a ton of life left. Drink within a year or two.

Once again, tremendously enjoyable. I haven't even opened any '09 or '10 yet, this is drinking so wonderfully. Amazing mouthfeel, silky, the berry and dark chocolate wash over the palate. Lovely finish, long enough to savor but in the end it just leaves you wanting more. Only one bottle left, and I will miss this vintage once it is consumed.

Made Beef Bourguignon. A little hot on open, let it air out before pouring into the pot. Tasty.

Last bottle of a great vintage. Everyone who got a taste loved it. Still drinking nicely but I would suggest enjoying soon.

Still a splendid wine. Drinking beautifully now; notes consistent with previous.
