We had the 2009 and 2010 Vintages in a vertical tasting on 6/26/22. The 2009 had a more floral bouquet. The 2010 was more minerality and earthy. The 2010 got better with aeration. Tastes of black cherry and cassis. The 2009 was more red berry. For both the tannins smoothed out. Both had long finishes. Both, of course were classic Old World; have to consider them medium bodied.

This wine was still a little right upon opening. Needed two hours in crystal to open. Cassis, plum, and cigar box meld into an alluring palette. Integrated oak adds to pleasing tannins and a long finish. It’s nice when it all comes together.
