Have yet to open the 2010. Would enjoy to hear some feedback on this from others. My experience with these wines is that they are not built for aging as one of my 2008 Naga was on its end cycle. I'm looking forward to opening this on Fathers Day 2014. We'll see how that goes...Edited on 9/18/14, opened on 8/1/14 for last broadcast of WCCC in Hartford, CT and shared with several of the Dj's. Seemed fitting that a hard rock station & a hard rockin Vino would pair well together. Needless to say, the 2010 Judith is a powerhouse of crimson brick, leather, tobacco leaf. Big tannins. We sampled through half the bottle then recorked it to share with 2 customers of mine 3 weeks later. In that 3 weeks time, this mountain of a Cab finally opened up with this velvety mocha covered espresso bean mouthfeel. Should've let it rest for another few years but the time was fitting to share with some special people that brought Maynard's music to the masses of CT. I have a 2011 Judith that will sit for several more years, waiting for hard rock to return to the airwaves of CT. \m/
