October 16, 2016 - First bottle in 11 months and my next-to-last one of a half-case purchased back in 2010. This has aged very gracefully. A modern-style fruit-bomb in its youth, now fully mature and much more elegant and harmonious. Full-bodied and rich, with a plush, velvety texture. Though its fruit has faded noticeably, there is still plenty of ripe, delicious dark cherry and pomegranate character here, along with spice and savory elements, too. Its moderate acidity is in perfect balance with its still-ample, remaining fruit. Displays tremendous intensity on the mid-palate and a long, long finish. The tannins are fully integrated and silky smooth. At its peak now, this should continue to drink beautifully for at least another 3-5 years. 92+
