98 Points

Thursday, December 31, 2015 - Tasted in a mini vertical of 94, 91, 84, 83. Two were great to outstanding the others were very good. All bought from same source on release.

The 91 was the standout wine of the 4. Closed at the start, 45 minutes in a decanter was not close to long enough. All the life still in the wine, fruit, liquorice, tobacco, Unami.

After an hour in the glass was just getting better and if some had been left for the following morning it would probably have still been great.

When compared to the 83 the comparison was superb. I would suggest that the 83 may be slightly older than it needs to be but the 91 not yet fully there. In 3-4 years the 91 should be perfect.
