92 Points

Thursday, September 4, 2014 - Not accounting for bottle variation, if this one is representative then what a beautiful transformation has occured over the past several months! Drinking like a wonderfully mature Bordeaux in texture and depth. Still some brooding as well, so this is just hitting the perfect stride. It doesn't last long once open, 2 nights at best. If you have been smart enough to hold these, congrats. Sadly for me, this was my last. There were ups & downs, cork issues, TCA, etc but a final, stunning payoff on this bottle. 5+12+17+8 = 92
