  This one didn't have the TCA, but it didn't have enough stuffing to rate 16 years of storage. It's okay, but there's no development of complexity. Wouldn't buy again.

  Past it, plus a touch of ATC.

  A couple of years since the last tasting did some wonderful things to this bottle. Beautifully aged. Bravo.

  Definitely needed a lot of decant time. Smelled spoiled at first with bacterial and old vegetables on nose. But this dissipated over a couple of hours and some herbs and tobacco came out. Still some nice fruit and tannin. Earthy, complex and long. Very good with braised short ribs.
