Drinking this side by side with the 2013. Half bottles are awesome! The nose...oh my god, the nose! So seductive. Splash it in a big glass and just drink in that aroma. There's an incredible depth even before taking a sip. Drink, and it rolls effortlessly across the palate with an understated weight. Darker cherries, spices, hints of tobacco. Gorgeous texture. Lingers. Makes you pause - a distraction from all else around you. Drink the 2013 with lunch and this in the evening. The 2010 is the clear winner tonight.
