My last bottle of this vintage, enjoyed with pan seared ribeye, baked potatoes and crispy brussels sprouts, ala Coopershawk by Carol. Decanted 1 hour and enjoyed over 1 more. This is an absolute beauty and in a great place for those of you who like your fruit bombs still strong, but perfectly integrated and smooth and toned down just a hair. This is beautiful, dark red/black fruit, nice barrel spice and perfectly matching acidity with just a touch of smooth, sweet, round tannin. I really wish I had more of this! But, as I've alluded to with older vintages, don't let these sit to age in the cellar too long, or open to air too long....they seem to do funny things and be less spectacular if you do.
