Opens a bit disjointed, as though you surprised it while it was getting dressed. An hour later, it has relaxed, regained its poise, and is starting to impress anyone nearby. Acid, fruit, tannins, balanced alcohol: this bottle has years ahead of it. Well, not this bottle, but you know what I mean.

Velvety rich and delicious. Fabulous bouquet. Dark chocolate, currants, blackberry. Very satisfying.

Overall a solid cab, beautiful garnet color and fruity but not up to the levels of the '07 and '08 offerings. Even after an hour still very closed up but the flavors are there so it definitely needs more time to develop. Interestingly, there is a complete lack of tannins right now as well. Hold for a few years.
