Shrimp fried rice! Great tannin. Darker than I expected. Bright red. Well placed VA. Would love to taste it at 10 years.

Kicking the bday off with this beauty. The Imperial is exceptional tonight, power and elegance don't get more intertwined, balanced and pure. With air the body emerges and grows in depth. The fruit intensity also ratchets up a lot, telling me this has the stuffing to age another 10+ easy and reward that patience handsomely. Dashes of wild Corsicana scrub (maquis), ripe and polished tannin and pitch perfect acidity. In time I can see this going to 99-100 easy.

2010. Pristine fruit and charming character. Burgundy meets the Mediterranean. I give it 11.2 points out of 10.
