This has smoothed and mellowed through. Certainly ready for the table and now with some tertiary characteristics floating in. soft, spicy, rhubarb elements, long finish with chinese five spice elements on the backend. Drink up.

Tasted after the 2009 which blew the tasting panel away. Good but more muted nose, more mainstream. Core of fine earthy,bright spicy fruit with clear good acidity. Needs more time to integrate and evolve the tertiary elements. Sappy, shortish finish. 89-90.
