Low expectations given the CT “drink by date “ has passed; did not decant and used an Ah-so cork puller to open. Very surprised this is still hanging on; and quite honestly, drinking very well! Black fruits and structure structure “ in tact”. Given the outstanding vintage, I’m guessing this should be consumed over the next 1-2 years. Still 92 points.

Nose- red fruit and menthol. Pallet - cassis, blueberry, luscious mouth feel. Mid pallet a little flabby but finish takes over and redeems it. Finish that lingers 20+ seconds. 93 points. Well done!

Sweet purple fruit. Spice and dust on the finish. Beautiful luxurious mouthfeel and finish. Age has added complexity. A lovely wine.

Decanted, did a dance around it, nothing can help it. Wine is shot, not even cooking wine. Flabby, messy, sad.

Nice nose. Smooth tannins. Lasting aftertaste. A bit metallic, but very nice. Might be slightly over prime but a wonderful wine still.
