Sunday, February 26, 2023 - Anecdotally I have read this was one of the few star performers from the vintage, and it more than matched its hype. This bottle was just about on point of decline, but it was magnificent. The nose is packed with earthy notes with truffle, and is otherworldly. The palate is silky smooth with exceptional depth and complexity. Likewise the finish is liquid velvet. There are the beginnings of over age with stewed notes end palate. Otherwise I would have rated it higher, but admittedly I think I have struck lucky with the individual bottle.
