January 19, 2023 - In a word...elegant. At this age and this level of enjoyment, I have to give this a classic rating. Soft mouthfeel, with no astringent element whatsoever. Near perfect balance on the palate and medium length. A favorite of the night among many. Has the legs to go further, but the remaining four bottles in community holdings should not just sit there. Make a pleasant memory now.
