93 Points
Thursday, December 27, 2018 - I wanted to open this up because, after a dazzling bottle of mine a year ago, I had a luke-warm experience recently (the bottle was not mine). Well, I suspect the unimpressive bottle was either due to pure chance or poor provenance because this bottle from my cellar was fantastic. Evolves from a rich, pure, fruity cassis nose accented by thyme into a more overtly cedar-filled nose after a couple hours in the decanter. Its best days are ahead, though there is quite a lot of joy now. 93-94
