  Nowhere close to the 2011 or 12.

  Opened, decanted an hour+ before serving. Ripe and powerful black and blue fruit with plenty of richness, yet also elegant and well balanced through long-ish finish. Started losing steam after three hours in glass, so clearly in its peak window, best to enjoy within the next decade.

  had the pleasure of sipping this beauty with Sam at Vie
  I was afraid to write that the fruit was almost sweet, but then I cheated and saw another note that agreed
  A beautiful elegance to the fruit and earthy notes starting to show some secondary characteristics
  less fruit and more integration the 2nd day
  years of life left

  Starting to show some secondary notes of molasses hint, bourbon barrel, super earthy. I love the acidity in this, seamless finish. Hitting its stride right now and will drink well through another 10yrs.

  Lots of very ripe black and blue berries on nose and palate with very dense concentration and a roasted meat finish. Very long and powerful, yet elegant and texturally charming. In its peak drinking window, best through 2029.
