94 Points

Friday, November 4, 2011 - Dan's 50th Birthday Extravaganza (Abe & Louie's): I may be too conservative with this score but we drank it with the 59 and 82 Lafite which were in another league. This wine is a winner, just young and muscular. Awesome backbone and mouthfeel. It is in the early miles of a marathon. In 20 years, it has the potential for greatness. After three hours, the wine softened and the tertiary flavors emerged. So, if you kill it young, decant for 4 hours beforehand.
