  This was hands down the best wine I've tasted in a while. Half hour decant. In such a perfect place right now showing incredible balance and depth. Mouth watering on the palate and near perfect from start to finish. I don't hand out scores like this lightly (this is as close to 100 as I'd probably ever go) but this is deserving of every point. Spectacular wine.

  Excellent wine in a perfect place (drunk from magnum). Secondary flavors coming through with a touch of tertiary, although it is holding up well. The wine is packed with desirable flavors and aromas but remains light on its feet -- never jammy or cloying or heavy.

  Decanted and poured, this wine gave an excellent to almost outstanding showing. The shows a wonderful combination of youthful and maturing notes the combine to give complexity and depth. Medium to full bodied on the palate with excellent length and balance on the finish. This is probably at or around its peak but should continue to drink well for many more years.
