Outstanding nose and initial taste with long smooth finish...tannins have mellowed just right...happy I have 2 more bottles in the cellar but sad that the 2008 will have to wait 10 mores years to peak as well.

Decanted for 30 minutes and enjoyed with a wagyu center cut at the capital grill for my 50th birthday! I was a bit disappointed with my first taste but felt it opened into its peak wth the second half of my steak. The minerals of the Rutherford dust was quite evident and enjoyable. My first of 12 bottles in the cellar so am interested in how it will evolve over the next 10+ years.
