8 years after my first bottle, still a 92. Also, still kinda a young wine that could use more time in the cellar. On pop-n-pour it is intense but all over the place, it needs a couple hours to integrate. At that point still intense minerals, graphite, oak, maybe a bit of dark berries. Oddly, while this is an intense wine, it isn't a cab type of intense and went well with grilled salmon. This is very good and will still stand a lot of time, but it doesn't have the complexity to push it over 92 in my book.

This is an interesting wine, you get the low acidity and minerals with some fruit as well. It was actually better probably after being open a few days. I'll be keeping the rest in the cellar for a long time.
