Opened 3 and a half hours before drinking. Decanted an hour before dinner. Beautiful garnet color. Well balanced alcohol and acidity. Solid tannic structure. On the nose and palate VERY tight at first. As it opened, tobacco and tar brightened quickly into dark fruits and then cassis, progressed to eraser/menthol (light) with hints of chocolate, acacia, musk, slightly floral as it opened. Wow. Gorgeous.

Won WOTN. Decanted for 2 hours prior to serving. Drinking well now and still has years to go

This was lovely, and paired very well with a rack of lamb, radicchio in gruyere sauce, and a table-side dressed homemade ceasar salad. Greg made the lamb, Jim made the ridicchio and I made the ceasar. The wine paired especially well with the lamb. Delicious stuff. Still a baby, and lots left here for the long haul.

Ft Wayne Dinners; 3/19/2024-3/20/2024: Drank over 2 nights with other wines, better on the second day but still a bit tart, good fruit, nice tannins, complex flavors, would drink again.

Too young. Compared to the 2009, the 2010 seems to need several more years to show its full potential.
