March 5, 2020 - Bought a 12b case 4 months ago for 11/b from a local chain store: this is #1. Decanted because of its youth (no sediment). Dark purple; cassis, some blackberry, some oak that follow on the palate; good mouthfeel; some persistence. Drank over 4 days: best was Day 2, but it was still solid on Day 4. Delicious and promising for the future; glad I have more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
