Terrific 2nd label. Smokey, minty, menthol like nose. Very clean. Palate has some richness allied with nice stony minerality and tannin. My score might go higher as it aerates.

Jun 9th, 2014Much better than 11 upon opening. Full bodied, rich as the vintage dictates but a touch of heat I am hoping goes away.

Jun 2nd, 2014I find 11's upon opening are a bit all over the place, like this one, but with sufficient air they can turnout pretty delicious. Jury is still out on this one as it is a mess.
