Make sure to decant, at least an hour. Hint of licorice on the nose. Medium to full body, full tannins. Moderate finish. Fair amount of sediment. Went well with Girl Scout thin mints!

This is a nice wine with a lot going for it! Big graphite on the nose, blackened, brackish fish bones. Resinous tar, maple nut, charcoal, graphite, slate-y blackberry that morphs into dried black currant, espresso with chicory, licorice, black raisin, and olive tapenade! Stupendous! Not for fruit flies, but crypt dwellers: put down those frightened teens, and pick up a glass of these magma-seared, skeletal, zombie piranhas! Santé!

Remains tight and backwards. Uncork for a full 24 hours and pair with skirt steak if compelled to drink today. Despite these hurdles, there is admirable freshness and minerality.

Weeknight workhorse. My last bottle of 2010. In no danger of fading, but not likely to improve.
