Drank next to a 2012 Four Kings, paired with filet mignon with blue cheese sauce. On opening more well integrated and less tannic than the 2012, after an hour in the decanter revealed leather and tobacco, big wine that paired very well with the steak. I have another half case, will try to hold more to see what this is like as it approaches 20 years.

At 12 years this is really starting to come into its own. On opening it's still quite tannic and I was a bit worried that the alcohol wasn't well integrated, but an hour in the decanter smoothed the rough edges and brought out the tobacco and stone fruit. Paired amazingly with filet mignon with blue cheese sauce. I'll try to wait another few years before opening the next one, I would love to see what this is like at 20.
