October 4, 2017 - This is still a solid 93+ and on its way up. Has traded in its thick p-coat for a suit but still has all the muscle underneath. Its far more elegant, refined, and sexy, while youthful and light on its feet. This is shaping up and shedding fat. I like it now with lots of air, and again, I think that this is very much in line with the 1996 vintage at this stage...can drink but I still think its a strong Hold
