PopnPour, tasted over 3 hrs -nearly opaque dark red mild browning at edge -cocoa dark fruit slight oxidative note -med/med+ acidity, med/med+ weight restrained plum and black fruits, noticeable oak with somewhat dried out med/med- tannins -not overtly old/mature but a little tired, probably was better a few years ago when the fruit was more prominent

Same general impression as many others. Transported in luggage with wine skin protective sleeve. A little shrill and disjointed the first day. Bright fruit, but a little bit harsh with acid and rough tannins. By second day much better with more balance and integration of elements. Not as impressed as with the '08 yet. Still holding out hope.

Drank over two days....better on the second day....Good but a little lack of personality!
