First choice tonight was actually an 07 Ch Montelena Estate but it opened in a worrisome fashion so I grabbed this, hoping it wasn't too tight and young. It wasn't. Soft, smooth, accessible, and with delightful structure and concentration. Tannins and finish are both subtle. Very well made. A lucky grab at the last minute.
