Monday, April 5, 2010 - Drank it over two nights.
My initial notes. Decanted 1/2 the bottle for 30 minutes. The nose has improved nicely. Still a bit too much oak for my tastes, a greenness on the initial palette and there is a slight bitterness on the finish that distracts. Still a lot smoother than the experience a year ago. An additional year of age has helped this wine go from a 80 to an 84 for me.
The wine was worse on the 2nd night. The nose became less appealing and the green and bitter characteristics remained.
