Also outstanding, the 2010 BFM is slightly less exotic than the Tall Tales, yet has more fruit and depth on the palate. Offering up notions of smoked plums, currant, roasted meats, violets and spring flowers, it flows onto the palate with a full-bodied, decadent texture that stays light and weightless before turning grippy and firm on the finish with ripe tannin. Give it a year or two and enjoy over the following decade. Drink 2014-2024.
