Paired with roasted rack of lamb, needed time to open. Fruit was at end of life, a drink now if you have 2010 vintage

Needs some time to open up and shake off some cellar stank. Once it’s humming, deep earthy flavors, dirt, tobacco, leather. Maintains a nice core of dried fruits, sour and sweet. Mature tannins, lively and long.

Deep ruby. Bell peppers, black peppers, plums, blackberries, eucalyptus. Medium acidity, medium minus sugar, medium plus alcohol. Grippy tannins. Guess: New world Cab & Syrah blend? Australia?
