A nudge better than the '09 I posted a month ago - I prefer the structure, balance and acidity of the '10.

Wow... The 2010 is showing amazingly well right now, still lots of bright fruit but it's all incredibly well incorporated, smooth tannins... Best thing we've had in a while!

Would definitely benefit from some more time but this wind had a very nice perfume and taste of dark fruits – blackberry, dark cherry, blueberry with a little mix of chocolate, cedar, pepper and leather. In the end, a very impressive wine.
