6/4/10: Medium bodied, not as open as when tried last, but does improve with time. give it 6 months and retry. 87
4/15/10: Not as rich as I remember previous vintages. Some meatiness, a touch of spice. Med+ bodied. Good, I like that while seductive and rich, it seems to be balanced within its frame. 87-88
Liquid black pepper deliciousness. Rich, but not over the top. Actually, not nearly as massive as the '06. Some tannins, but already approachable and delicious.

Some richness on the aromatics. A fuller style of Pinot Grigio. Some pears. Ok. 86-87

Juicy. Solidly made, nice bottle, not as over the top as when I've had it in the past. Good.

Black pepper, but not as much as the Gigondas. A touch of the N. Rhone green thing. Quite nice, but not at the same level as the Gigondas.
