  Nice wine, fairly big sized, good fruit, not a powerhouse like I remember upon release, much more supple and softer now. The wine has good amounts of char, black fruit and licorice. Drink now - 2012.

  Man, this was tight, big, tannic, all that to say the least. Popped and poured from the bottle into regular cab glasses by a friend prob a half hour before I arrived. I could barely take it for nearly an hour after that; insanely tight. I berated my buddy for not decating. Did an interesting test: poured the wine from the cabernet glass into a vinum extreme pinot glass and after half an hour, it really started to sing. We compared the nose on the pinot glass to the cab glass and it was night and day! The extra room helped open it up unbelievably. So, if you're going to have this monster any time soon, give it at least 2+ hours in a decanter. This will last for quite some time.
