As others have reported, this seems to be shutting down. Less vibrant than the last bottle I tried, this is delicious nonetheless. Everything is in place. It has great tension, light weight yet plenty of material. I think this is a terrific Tardive.
There's an energy that is very compelling. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's not a direct expression of the acidity, though there is certainly plenty. It has a wonderful sense of power without weight. Interesting to see how different this is from 2009, stunning in a completely different way.
drank my first bottle tonight and if this is "shutting down" would loved to have tried it when it was more open! incredibly delicious....far better (for me) than the 2009.
