Enjoyable and in a better spot than the recently consumed 2008 which spent a little too much time in the cellar.
This is the last bottle of 2010 and glad it’s the last one as I feel it will decline from here in the not too distant future.
Enjoyable and a reminder of why I enjoy a bottle with a bit of age.
That being said, we recently opened a 2012 which is drinking well and (based on experience) I will be looking to polish that off shortly as the 2013 is in a great place and is the next vintage in my sights to be exhausted by years end.
That being said I really feel this wine is best consumed with between 5 and 7 yrs in the cellar. More than that doesn’t do the wine justice and runs an unnecessary risk of overcooking it.

Blackcurrant cassis, Asian spice and pepper. A soft dusting of tannins and good acidity. PnP - this was blockbuster from the get go. Long finish
