November 18, 2010 - Generously opened by Rob Gardner. A rare OMG wine. Nose is like walking into an old wooden winery, rustic and earthy, I could just smell the glass all night. The palate is rich and vibrant, still extremely youthful, deep dark cherry and plum, not a hint of overripeness or oak, just a wave of complex intensity, seamless balance, and a long, lingering finish. There is probably a slight touch of brett, which at its low level adds to the wine more than subtracts. This was opened at the dinner table, decanted, and drunk over a couple of hours, with the last sip being better than the first. I brought bottle home, and managed to eek out a couple of sips from the dregs in the bottom, with the depth and intensity increasing even more. An absolutely spectacular wine, one of the best I've ever had.
