Drinking great right now. I was very surprised and it helped me to guess when a friend asked which wine shined out of a lineup. Surprising. That is the term he said as well. I passed this bottle over a lot of times thinking it wasn’t much but it really aged well. Great balance, still maintaining fruits. If you have one I wouldn’t hesitate to open although judging by the 1999 my friend opened it may last a while longer.

Doing a vertical tasting tonight with a 2009 and 2010 Tresor. Cork of the 2009 was clean. Cork of the 2010 is wet about halfway down with some tartrates (crystals) on the end. Funk on the nose of both wines but with more fruit coming through on the 2010. Tasting the wine, there is slightly more dark fruit coming through in the 2009 than in the 2010. Just opened and still tasting - more to come. Second day: Same as the first - no discernible difference from yesterday. The two wines are also almost indistinguishable but for slightly more fruit on the nose of the 2010 and the flavor of the 2009. Both are on the edge, if not a bit over, and need to be drunk now. Ideally, I should have opened them earlier this year if not last year.

Magnum bottle. Cork was dry. Was worried. 3 hour decant. Opened well. Deep color. Lot of cherry. No sign of past peak.
