I thought this was just a terrific showing for this wine right now. I opened and had probably 5 oz. on its own then the remainder with my wife with a chicken/artichoke tagine dinner. It was superb both ways. Rich, deep fruit leads the way in a gorgeous succulence, not over extracted in any way, just a very deep and pure fashion, with black cherry and Bing cherry, a mineral texture underneath, rich topsoil, smoky charcoal embers, sweet fine tannins still providing support. My second of two seven years apart, this has very much rewarded cellaring. Had this been a magnum, I'm sure we would still have finished it in one night. 94 pt bottle at least. Yeah, it can hold just fine, but if I had another I'd be drinking it soon. If you really are truly AFWE, you'll have to wait a while.

Enjoyed this wine-- rich black fruit nose. Black cherry, being spice, little oak, smooth, velvety. Thought it might be a little over peak, but is drinking nicely.

No detailed notes, but I will say this wine was singing on a pop and pour.
