Decanted 3+ hours with the nose opening nicely as it stands. Hints of cedar wood, dried plums, and bit of black currant jam on the nose. Somewhat herbal. Maybe some light basil. Overall not too complex, but as it stands the aromas become more pronounced. On the palate light blueberry taste but not jammy. Medium minus body. Not chewy. Nice round tannins but little existing acidity. Some light vanilla as the taste lingers. Taste somewhat muted, likely over drinking age, but like the nose not too complex. The aroma was actually more prominent. However, easily drinkable. Would not cellar 2010 vintage any longer as already becoming less pronounced.

Great Nose still with some French Oak, medium to full bodied palate, dark currant if my memory serves me, complex and a nice finish.
