Tremendous structure, while maintaining balance, complexity and a long finish. Even after it was decanted for a couple hours, it could have benefited from more breathing. This will age gracefully for years.

Delicious wine. Drank alongside '08 and '09. Great structure and balance but perhaps a little more angular than the other two younger vintages.

Nice structure with acidity and tannins balancing well
Fruit ripe and easing into oak for a long smooth finish
Relatively large petit verdot component evident in color adds interesting complexity

Delicious from the time it was opened. Smooth power, with restrained fruit opening to a long finish. Didn't decant.
