I had this one at Charlie Palmer's Aureole in Las Vegas. Over all this wine was outstanding, and drunk quite a bit younger than it's 10 years. Big full flavors of truffle, leather and cassis. The balance was quite good and the finish was impressive and quite long. It developed a bit during the meal, but was never really fell off. I'd give it another 5 years with out concern, and it might even get a bit better. It was $140 on the list, but was actually quite worth the price. I'd love to find a couple of these for my home cellar.
Its also worth mentioning that the list at the restaurant was so big that it came delivered on a tablet PC. You can browse the list online here
