I thought it was great - a dusty neglected bottle in a part wine and part everything else store in CO so was curious if it would amount to anything but everyone love it. Stood up well to other wines we were drinking.

Tasted over several hours of decanting a month or so ago. Fairly ungiving, quite frankly, not much joy. Some might call it structured, etc. I am not convinced it's meant to be singing, period.

WB Dinner in Santa Cruz (Home Soquel): What a velvety, rich, and seductive palette. Concentrated but tempered by eucalyptus.

No age on rim - needed 2 hours to open - cedar wood and blackcurrants with even a hint of violets - end palate fabulous with smokey tar and spices, tannins ripening. May need more age in bottle but v pleasant at the moment. En primeur prices for 2010 were almost as crazy as 2009, so it’s not great vfm.

Well,l I haven't drunk this with smoked beetroot (in fact, I have never heard of smoked beetroot). My feelings are do not let food interfere with wine. Give the smoked beetroot a miss; try a water cracker instead.
BC up to scratch again. What a fine wine, and so consistent. The smoky ethereality of Saint Julien, dark smoldering fruit, and all held together through a pointed structure.
