Probably my WOTN. Very similar to the bottle I had in 2012. Great fruit, earth and texture. This exudes class and breed. Love the integration and seamlessness compared to the others.
This got a little lost in the shuffle. Mature red fruit, cinnamon and black fruit and earth. A bit disjointed compared to the others, but still very enjoyable.
Very forward and fresh nose of red fruit, dried roses, earth, some earth and tobacco. Vibrant with tremendous energy on the palate. Broad in the mouth, but still holding back a bit. This is an outstanding bottle that will improve, but not sure all are such great examples. Long finish with great grip.

Interestingly, compared to my last bottle, tonight this seemed to need more time. Still wonderful. Epic wine.
