As per previous notes, I really really like this wine. Decanted about two hours. Drinking well and can go for years (not sure why CT has a current end date). Very bold black and blue fruit. Lots of body, mid to back of tongue tannins, and long finish. Some new and old world flair. Would like to know if anyone is drinking the '12 or '13 as this is a remarkable wine.

This is a spectacular bottle of wine - am looking at the 2010s to buy/waiting for the 2012s to be released. Decanted two hours. Deep reddish purple. More old world than new nose - very nice. Complex lush rich purple/berry fruits with black undertones. Long finish. Very impressive - almost made up for the Steelers losing to the Ravens.
Really liked this wine. Decanted for an hour, and tannins still there. Not inky purple but dark hues. Above average nose. Complex berry fruit with nice but abbreviated finish. Enjoyable.

Nice bit of earth on the nose. Smooth fruit in the middle and nice long finish.
Wish I had more.
Last bottle.
