Still alive after several days in the fridge and opulently racy. Is that a possible compound descriptor? Waiting for the meatloaf and potatoes to finish in the oven--might have to have a salad to start. Salad and soft boiled egg. I'll get right on that. 2010.

Big and ripe, with loads of baked apple. Still vibrant, but adding some secondary flavors. A bit more focus would yield and even higher score, bit this is delicious...
