Decanted for an hour. Pretty much like my last bottle with a bit more fruit this time. Went great with grilled lamb chops. This bottle was definitely more expressive than the last and was a bit more enjoyable. Definitely higher on the yummy scale. Drink up.

Slow oxed. Deep purple hue. On the nose, stewed black fruits, vanilla and a mild herbaceousness. Dark fruits up front but mild at best, oak, licorice and some leather. Drink up...the fruit is waning.

We laid down the 2010. Thinking 2011 would be a lesser year, we cracked it and were blown away. Medium to full body, but delicate. Great balance already. Long finish and great fruit. This one could ruin me for our typical $20 Tuesday-night wines.
