We decanted for about an hour in advance. Hint of cherry, lots of cassis/black currant, a faint thinned-butterscotch at the start of the finish. Oak seems present but not overbearing. An extremely enjoyable wine that felt balanced and complete.

my favorite wine out there. 9.9 rating. the only reason it's not a 10 is because I've had the privilege of drinking the '06

Surprisingly expressive aromas but a bitter 'green' quality and tightly closed tannins will require a few more years of rest in bottle or a few hours to breathe in glass.

Fruit is still rich. Balance is spot on. Excellent.
