  "A Gentleman's Night": This was opened next to see if we wanted to decant it, we did. It was a violet bomb upon opening, in the best way. Just all purple, but light purple. I let this sit a bunch while we moved onto the last wine, but when I came back to it I was hit with a bunch of spice, violets, dark cherry, some plum. A powerful wine, drinking pretty well.
  
  As it continued to open, it got fuller and the spice built. It says something that I paid the least attention to this—whether that’s youth or what it was lined up next to I don’t know…maybe a combination. This will be great in 10+ years.

  this was opened 6 hours ahead and had possibly too much air. great DRC nose but slightly green and stemmy notes in the mouth overpowering fruit aromas right now.

  Drinking well currently. Yet to go into shell. Light purple hue, quite hedonistic. (4068/7947)

  Had some noticeable green flavors at opening. Left standing 1 hour and then decanted for 30min. Very floral with blackberies flavors and density. Long aftertaste.

  Signature DRC aromatics, fruity palate. Prefer this to the 17, more stylish.
