  Decanted for around 1 hour. Pale to medium ruby color. Nose of match stick, ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, a bit of sweet baking spice, cedar cigar box. Very pretty. Similar flavors on the palate with a bit more oak influence coming through but more in the form of dried cedar than any toasted oak character. Medium+ to high acid, medium to medium+ tannin. Long finish. Lots of structure and lots of room to develop. Paired perfectly with roast porchetta.

  Red cherry, minerality, earth, and green pepper, with a racy acidity, hint of wood, and black pepper finish. Med-light-bodied, zesty, lean. Best in 5+ years, but enjoyable now with several hours of air, showing best on day two.

  Second Sunday Group: 2010 Chateauneuf-du-Pape (R&D's): Courtesy of A&L. Spice and cherry with a hint of earthy funk underneath. Medium-bodied. Cherry and earth on the palate, with a spice note on the finish. Adds depth and weight as it breathes. Lovely. 92+ pts.

  Sunday afternoon and was trying to figure out what to open that would be nice, but also ready. Had thoughts of 2011-2014 village or 1er Cru Burg and decided on this.
  
  Medium Garnet. Nose is pretty and delicate, with red flowers and spice. Crushed red cherry skins. Light, light toast. That nose is promising.
  
  Palate features light to Medium weight. Some wet dark tea leaves. Initially I recognize the palate as something I don't love, something very restrained. There is fruit, it's red-fruit; cherry. A lot of lip-smacking acidity which I do like. Overall a bit of a letdown but perhaps needs air - Think will leave bottle open a few hours as the palate is a little closed. Palate does have good presence and nice underlying tension. Some grip too. If fruit was a bit more ripe and this had some more body this would be right up my alley.
  
  Update #1 some hours later, pretty much the same bottle of wine now as it was then. Update #2: Showing better on night 2. The palate has opened more than last night. Nose is still pretty. The structure here says there is plenty of life left and if I had more I wouldn't try again for at least 4-5 years as I think may just be shut down as opposed to fruit that will never come around (so I was wrong in picking something that would be ready!).
  
  Postscript: Something about leftovers right? This leftover wine is better on night 2, and my leftover roast chicken and potateos are also better on night 2. And together they're doing a nice dance.
