  Shockingly bright for 13 years of bottle age, but I like where it is for its overall age. A good dollop of cranberry and sour cherry, with the OR dirt taking a bit more of a backseat. Tongue-numbing acidity (not alcohol!). A bit more fruit weighted than the recent '09 I had, but the length on this is incredible, as that addictive, aggressive acidity just keeps the mouth watering for over a minute. Porcelain tannin. This is not a "food wine" as in "it only goes well with food" (i.e. it's missing something so you need food to balance it out), but on the Thanksgiving table it just sang between those heavier bites of gravy-laden stuffing, the milder turkey, and the sweeter dishes of sweet potato and cranberry sauce. I'd invite this wine back every year if I could get more.

  Prior tasting note from Rezy13 is spot on. Still has great color on it and no browning. Still has nice spice and sweet fruit on it. Actually surprised us how well it is drinking tonight. Unfortunately our last bottle!

  Another surprising wine, this starts of light and dilute with a distinct herbaceous edge to it like ‘04/‘11 Burgundy, sour cherry and plum skin and wilted rose, with air the wine changes course, the acids go from absent to taut and tense with enough rounding for better drinkability, sweeter fruit fills out and the herbaceous notes subside, nicely dynamic.

  PnP with sushi. Mature, pretty, and holding up better than the 2008. 13.8%
