25th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Lyon Down Inn): 95+ in this tasting, it just took everything up a notch from the Behrens before it. My notes are getting cryptic: "Lovely" "smooth" "integrated" "blend?" "now and later!" "Merryvale?" 94 on day 2.

Decanted briefly. Better after an hour and kept improving. Beautifully blended red with silky, full body, savory red and black fruit, herbal, stony minerality. Very enjoyable. Probably at peak but no rush.

4th Saturday Group: Uptown Brown Bag: Double blind. Deep garnet/crimson color with notes of clay, plum and black berry fruit. Balanced. Plum and black fruit flavors with medium tannins. Has a subtle herbaceous undertone. Lingering finish with hints of vanilla. Very nice; well-balanced. Guessed Napa cabernet. (T&L)

Excellent fruit. Deep purple color with almost no rim variance.

Last bottle. Opened into a floral blitz after an hour. Quite elegant and probably as good as it will get.
