Likes this wine:

96 Points

Tuesday, August 18, 2020 - This is a wow wine! It has great dark fruit, tons of complexity (layers of coffee, dark chocolate, flint...), plus body, very fine tannins and a long lively finish. Nicely balanced and light on its feet for as big as it is. Nose was reticent. My only complaint was that it kept cycling repeatedly through stages where it was voluptuous and then slightly closed down with structure dominating - puzzling. Initially decanted for 2 hours and drank over 3 more. Fabulous and probably 98 points at times and 94 at others. Much better than the 2014 I had a few weeks ago. Really gets me excited for the 2016!
