Best vintage Abyss

'10

 

As stated above, Definitely the '10

 

Got to be the '10 hands down.

 

We did a full vertical not too long ago, and the general consensus was (from best to worst): 2008, 2007, 2010, 2006, 2009 (yes, there's some that aren't infected), 2011. That said, they're all really, really good.

 

2006 or 2008 are the best, depending on how they are stored. 2008 is my current favorite because I haven't had '06 in quite some time.

 

The 10 has been my favorite, too. I really didn't like the early revisions all that much. Too dry and roasty for my tastes. Starting with maybe around 2009 they got a bit rounder.

 

2008. From fresh to current, this one has been a true gem. Wish I had about 44 more.

 

2008 and 2010 were my favorites and although I enjoyed the 2011 it seemed pretty different than the others fresh.

Really though, outside of the infected 09's they're all fantastic.

 

I have had '08-'11 (perks with having family in Portland) and IMO '08 was the best with '09 being the worse (mainly due to infection) take the '09 issue out of the equation and it seems to me it has gone down hill every year. I use to get my family to buy it by the case, but now i just ask for 2-3 bottles.

 

Agree that 2008 was my favorite, followed closely by 2010. I have not had 2006 to say where that vintage stands.

 

I can get access to some 2010 if someone can help me land an 2008

 

Had a 2007 at toronado about a year ago and it was like frikin fluffy chocolate milk, DELICIOUS

 

Have had all multiple times. 2010 reigns supreme

 

Abyss 10 is my choice it was outstanding had 2011 on tap but still aging the 2 bottles(2011) i have will open one soon

 

2010.

 

Just had an 06 about two months ago, rediculous how good it is tasting right now.

 

Had 'em all... Multiple times. For me 10 .. 2 years removed(last week)... And next week ..cheers

 

Yeah, 2010 drinking exceptional right now. Hard to beat.
