94 Points

Tuesday, December 7, 2010 - HOLY CRAP. Weighing in at 15.5% a/c and well and truly Parkerised; it was with some trepidation that I approached this monster. The a/c is there but not as burny and bad as you would expect. After that creamy black berries going more chocolatey after opening up. Very chewy and really quite impressive. Not european at all, but reminded me of Grange in its density. A density, however, that will probably never develop like a Bordeaux. But, recommended.
