Opened sometime prior to dinner; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2010 pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of dark, bramble fruit, black pepper, purple flowers, anise, cocoa, mixed herbs and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Currently in the zone. Delicious stuff. Drink now through 2035.
