Wonderful but still so young. Depp pure intense blackberry fruit. Structure still huge, of course. A fair amount of leather and cedar. Very long and complex. Beginning to drink now and will last forever.

Quite nice, still needs a bunch of air, lacks a little fruit on the palate to balance out the tannins.

7th of 24, decanted 3 hours, perfect cork and level, gone even more into shell since last bottle in August 19, fruit primary (black cherry and cassis with mineral) but muted on palate, more interesting and layered on nose, classy and classic of course, but more intellectual than joyful, superb tannic structure evident but the tannins are quite tough and will take time to resolve, much upside, 30+ years. VF (18.5).

Wow. With a hanger steak. From a 375ml. This was classic las cases. Leather and lead pencil. Just what you’d want and expect.

4 hour decant
Tighter than previous bottles, and more youthful. Dark blue and black; tobacco, minerals and forest. Rich and deep; young tannins and will improve with time. Same pedigree as prior bottles but younger in the curve. Awesome.
