This 2010 is in tip-top form.
Beautiful, ripe fruits; blackberries, black raspberries, plum/black plum for days, cherries, strawberries, raspberries & some pomegranate highlights. Cinnamon stick, clove, nutmeg & soft vanillin, black teas, mid berry cola, both licorices, fresh tobacco, used leather, steeped black tea, limestone minerals, some charcoal, pepper, grilled meats, dark spice w/ heat, sandalwood to cedar, dark, withering flowers with violets, grand acidity and a balanced, well tensioned/structured, elegant finish that lasts minutes and falls on spice.
Even adding the plum reduction sauce, the 2011 Burnello is still the better pairing.

Kosta Browne Winery's 2010 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Wee bits of smuckers jam jar & macerated Bing Cherry, hi lighted by a slew of mint & dried florals. #certifiablydelish

Cherry cola, mild fennel, smooth tannins. Nice with our sweet potato soup with truffle and pancetta.
