  Body: 2.5% milk mouth-weight.
  Tongue taste: Big cherry, black cherry, vanilla, some cranberry. Well-integrated fruit throughout, no donut, lovingly smooth. Some orange esters popping up underneath.

  What a Lovely example of a great site's "sunshine in a bottle" that is showing great, and of course the beauty of large format bottles.
  
  Very "Lauren Bacall" sits down to dinner with you.
  
  In a large format, she can easily go another 4-5 years.
  
  A bit better than Meomi's version (though I've not had theirs from this year in this format yet).
  
  92 pts.
  
  Great solo or with food.
