PnP its still tight but after a 4 hour decant, this is a beauty. Nose is amazing! Generous fruit highlighted with dark bing cherry, blue and black berry. Tobacco and tar with a vanilla to finish. Wine is a melody of flavor and has years of cellar-ability. 95 is a high score for any wine but this wine deserves it.

Every bit deserving. Outstanding. Probably at peak and so very ready to drink. No flaws. No sediment. Moderate rim variation. Classic caberrnet nose. Very old world. Low tannin/acid. Medium alcohol. Long finish. Ready to drink. And, plenty of life left in this one.

This is sadly losing it's fruit. Need to get to the rest of this vintage and the '06.

Sadly, our last. No change from 2017 note. Beautiful, drinkable wine with plenty of bottle life left.

92 out of the bottle and then just kept improving. Dark, some fruit forward notes, moderate acidity, smooth tannins.
