This is drinking beautifully right now. Still has lots of power, but has lost that youthful roughness. Showing tart strawberry, extremely spicy, vivacious acidity, muscular structure and juicy, cranberry fruit. Just keeps getting better. I think this is finally peaking, and should drink well for at least a few years. Time to enjoy this classic!

That's more like it. This bottle was great, with very well delineated flavors and excellent depth. Probably at the top of its form I'd guess. Very serious juice, and needs serious decanting, as there is loads of chunky sediment. Drink now and over the next few years.

This bottle was on fire tonight. Mineral and cherry, sharp and juicy. Big, mature, but still lively and alluring. Full of character.

Waited too long. This appears to be shot.

This bottle did show very well. Hopefully just an off bottle, and I think I'll open another one soon.
