Wednesday, October 27, 2010 - I didn't know I had another bottle of this until I re-arranged my cellar a few weeks ago. What an amazing surprise. I gave this a 95 last time and while this didn't hit those heights, it was still an oustanding bottle. The midpalate has plenty of delicious, complex, red fruits left; tannins are mostly dissipated but still noticeable, and incredibly silky. Amazing balance. The finish is slightly clipped compared to what I remember from early '08, with just a touch of sour cherry. Still a benchmark in my book.
