This was exceptional right from the open. Super rich and exploding from the glass immediately out of the bottle. It did not transform too much throughout the night, but stayed consistent, if not getting a little leaner/more elegant as I moved through the bottle.

This was exploding out of the glass immediately after pouring. Delicious. It did not change much throughout the evening. If anything it may have leaned up/become more elegant as the night went on. But amazing value and tremendous wine.
had six weeks ago side by side with an 03 montrose; both were terrific and am vague other than i am happy to have more of both un my cellar and neither were too jammy or too hot per the critics of this vintage

Another consistent bottle from this case. This wine is doing nothing but improving as it evolves. I lament that the case keeps ticking down….next bottle in 5 years, as this is still youthful, with great structure and evolving complexity. The last sip, 5 hours after decanting was a showstopper.
