  Took to Bones Steakhouse for my buddy's 60th birthday. Had this bottle after an hour decant with our steaks after an '88 Petrus we had with appetizers. What a beautiful bottle. Perfectly balanced with such precision and finesse. I can't imagine a better pairing with a bone in filet. Blue and black fruits framed within a menage of leather, fine tobacco and hints of menthol. A real beauty. Enjoy now or hold for even better things to come.

  Had for anniversary at the Fearington House. Exquisite. Still a bit young with a lot of forward fruit. Hang on to it a bit longer.

  Phenomenal bottle of wine in every sense of the word. Perfect from first pour to the last. Tannins have subsided and the true lush fruits have come out. Great experience

  Superb after a four hour decant and tannins are not harsh, but this strikes me as a wine that will be truly stunning in a few years.

  At Hawksmoor NYC. Like the Realm TK, this would have benefitted with another 5 years in the cellar. Great underlying fruits and cassis were just missing some element of integration and pulling together and though it was highly enjoyable, it paled next to an older Harlan and the '11 SQN 11C. Wait.
