99 Points

Saturday, December 19, 2015 - Lots of great wines with friends; 12/19/2015-12/20/2015 (E, 4th St.): OMG. Wow. What can you say. This was popped and allowed to breathe for about 1.5 hours. It needed at least 10 IMO and would have probably merited a higher score. Inky purple in color. The nose is amazing. Cassis, pencil lead, slight floral notes, coffee and cedar. Amazing velvety texture. Pinpoint balance. Delicious and deep. Tightly layered as it unwinds in the glass. Juicy black currant and blueberry fruit. Slight coffee. Long finish. Decades left, but I would wait at least a few more years before opening.
