Drank a pair of 2010 (Mike Trujillo) with grilled lamb. The wine drank as fully mature, long legs and resolved tannins. The fruit is very reduced, perhaps muddy as a prior taster noted. Based on the 2 bottles, the 2010 probably has more to loose than gain from more cellar time. won’t. I’ll have to open one of the 2010s made by Bruce Delvin that used different grapes.

Opened 4 bottles at a dinner party. Massive nose, right in the drinking window. Amazing cal cab.
I’m not a fan of the corks, they are a light blonde and not very dense. While they have lasted the decade, I’m putting these in the drinking line as opposed to saving for much longer. BTW, these were the original issue 2010s.

Past peak. Still drinkable, but turning muddy instead of gaining those lovely mature flavors we crave in aged cabs. Lots of chunky sediment. Drink up.

Well done. Aged nicely, but at its peak I think. Drink now.
