The 2010 Proprietary Blend Vecina is breathtaking, but it should not be purchased for near-term gratification. An exotic bouquet redolent of smoke, tar, incense, tobacco and black cherries explodes into a rich palate loaded with fruit, all backed up by massive, imposing structure. I can't see the 2010 giving any real pleasure before its tenth birthday, but it is totally dazzling and the real deal for those who can wait. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035.
