Well, it was a curious experiment to drink it with the ‘96; obviously too young, still great, lively, nicely balanced … yet, it is not and it will never be in the same league as the wines like the ‘96; just not enough room for growth.

I feel that I am being generous with my score. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great wine but expectations were quite high. About a one hour decant and it needed about a day. Gift from restaurant owner as thank you. It has intense Australia flavors like many Syrah blends. Would really have liked to take bottle home but felt obligated to enjoy at table. It was second bottle of night and first was big cab of Howell mountain. May have also influenced my take.

醒酒两个半小时,闻香有胡椒味和香料感,成熟黑果香气,入口香气非常浓郁,酸度中高,单宁紧致,有些抓人,颗粒很细腻,酒液咸,收口微甜,口感虽然很肥美,但是依然能感觉到很漂亮的结构,浓郁黑果,甚至有些果酱感,酒体饱满,后段有辛辣感,能感受到一些酒精感,余味是黑果和巧克力香气。新世界风格的标杆,Size明显比前面的酒大一号,酒的质量很高,口感和香气都很扎实,细节也打磨得很精致,尽管年份新,酒还很壮,但是没有丝毫毛糙的感觉,也许你会觉得它有点浓,但是没有对比就没有伤害,比过你才会发现它能做到如此平衡非常厉害。

Wine Spectator 40th Anniversary; 10/21/2021-10/23/2021 (Marriott Marquis): Good to see that there was a lot of this vintage since it got poured both nights. It's a wine for aging for sure but all the right stuffing there for that.
