Was surprised at the color and fruit. While not a “great” wine IMO, still very enjoyable, and it has held up well given the age. Opened up after about 30 mins post decant.

Berns steakhouse. Perfect fill and cork. Needs 30 min to open up and then it was nearly perfection in a glass. Great balance and finish. Certainly in prime with at least another decade of prime drinking. No rush on these. Mostly merlot with the remainder of cab franc.

UWS 2010-01 (@ JB): Earthy forest floor impressions. Mushrooms. Firm acidity. Iron. Spices. Very mature, but not dead yet, although it definitely has been better. Impressive in fact for a wine of almost 50 years old.

Drank it with rack of lamb which was excellent choice. Tasted on it's owne, the wine started well, left a smokey after taste that caught me by surprize. It was good and went very well with the dinner
