98 Points

Friday, October 6, 2023 - Shared a bottle with my wife over 3 hours. Bliss from start to finish. Blood and iron. Dark, ripe plum. Leather and musk. Sandalwood. Ground coffee and cigar box at the end of the final glass.

Remarkable stuff. I literally had my nose stuffed into my Zalto Universal for hours enjoying the evolving aromas. So complete. So deep and dark and alive. Incredible length. This could last forever. The vitality of a wine 1/5 it’s age, with all the complexity of a wine that has developed over half a century. 98 points - my highest ever CT rating, and I’m dragging the average down! Yes, The Hill is hallowed turf indeed. (98 Phenomenal wine)
