Friday, February 18, 2022 - Drank over three days.
Excellent in all regards, and yet the least impressive showing of this wine to date. Still plenty of fruit and impressive structure. Just a touch reductive on the nose, though not on the palate. The middle to back transition felt a little wonky. At 17 years, my impression was that this bottle was in deep slumber, and never really came out of its shell. Recommend holding a few years more.
The tasting notes here that allege absence of fruit or heavy oak treatment puzzle me.
