  Tasted blind paired with the same vintage Screaming Eagle, this was firmer, more tannins, more rustic, less forward fruit, brooding, currants, blackberry, good finish, needs more time.

  Perhaps the bar of expectations had been set too high but this bottle sure disappointed us. While still a good wine- gave it a 92, I was hoping for more complexity and a better finish. Nope. May now consider selling my ‘09 that I still have.

  Deep saturated color. Big dark fruits, red meat, cassis, lead pencil, carmelized pecans, blackberry extract, mocha, blueberry and light lavender notes. Gorgeous structure and mouthfeel. There’s lots of flavor without being overly weighted on the palate. The structure and quality lend itself to further cellaring and many good years to come.
  
  p.s. bison hash lettuce wraps.

  Gave it a six hour decant although the cork ball that (loosely) covers my decanter may be slowing the decant. Even after that it took another hour of pouring and drinking for it to open up significantly more. By the end it was delicious. It still has plenty of time left in the bottle. Drank with no food only the wine.
