This is really a review of the '08, but thought I would make mention of it here. I drank an '08 in February of 2013. Before opening, I wondered if I had saved it for too long. Nope. Fantastic. This wine aged VERY well. Caramel and bananas, which is, I'm sure, quiet a bit different than when it is consumed young. When I buy the 2010 I'm gonna save at least one bottle for the cellar.

Honeydew and cantaloupe melons on the nose, and a tropical fruit mango/papaya palate. Parker said drink for 6-9 months, but a full year after I purchased it this is doing just fine with its acidity. Simple, but a nice wine great for daily drinking.

I used my second bottle for cooking butternut squash farrotto and drank the leftover. It had a simple, pleasant bouquet of peach, lemon, lime, mineral and spice aromas. The palate was light, smooth and slightly bitter with flavors of peach, lemon, lime, mineral and spice.

I drank this on 2/7/11. It had a very pleasant bouquet of peach, grapefruit, lime, mineral and spice aromas. The palate was light, bitter and tasty with flavors that followed the nose
