  August 29, 2010 - Saturday Dinner; 8/28/2010-8/29/2010: At dinner with a friend, this was popped and poured this looked much younger than 20. Color is a translucent dark red/purple with some slight bricking. The nose is immediately on with dried cherry and floral notes and some camphor-like subtleties. The nose stayed much like that for the 2 hours that the bottle lasted, becoming more prominent over time. The palate was medium weight with fruit fading into secondary flavors. Tannins still aren't resolved and probably never will be at this point. Oddly, there was a point about 30 minutes in where the fruit receded and the tannins came to the fore, but the wine recovered from that. The palate is good, the nose is excellent. Given the presence of tannins on the palate this is a wine that benefits from a food with a bit of fat to ameliorate them.
