Pretty good, pretty big. Too expensive though for the taste.

Very nice and easy drinking wine. A lot of blackberries, plums and a slight bit of earth/meat type of notes. Very smooth with a long finish.

Trying to figure out if this wine is just asleep, bottle variation, or just average. Thinking the third. Dirty black cherry with some tobacco leaf. Moderate acidity from the start to finish. Some fruit was there...but there just wasn't a whole lot of it. Could be wrong, but I don't think this is going to get any better in bottle. Was expecting more from a 2010.
