Popped and poured; noticeably darker than the two 2014's. Initially, this was cherries, damp forest floor, some mushroom and a little funk. After a couple of hours, this became really interesting. It gained some weight and added sun-dried tomatoes and a smokey, burned toast thing. In fact, I thought it had a rather remarkable Spaghetti-O's and Meatballs smell and I was alright with that. I realize that sounds crazy but once I mentioned it, that's what everyone else smelled too. LOL! The finish was long and savory. The tannins are still firm but well integrated. The 2010 "Loreto" delivered until the very last sip, nearly five hours after opening. This was a fantastic showing. Drink or Hold until 2025.

Infanticide if u ask me- floral notes, mineral core. But feels like all the parts are there, needing time.

Still a little closed down and tannic, but showed really well with sausage pizza. Energetic and pretty.
