Stunning how good this wine continues to be - perfectly balanced with such amazing concentration of dark black fruit without being cloying or jammy. From the moment we popped the cork, we smelled cassis and blueberry and were in awe of the aromas and excited as we decanted awaiting the pleasure to come …and it delivered. This wine is in a prime drinking place and has a power and finesse that is magic. It lingers for over a minute as it evolves in your mouth, showing off why it is one of the best. This bottle was superb and consumed during our 29th Anniversary at Steak 48

Was one of the wines of the night at an all mag dinner that included some heavy hitting mags (ie Redigaffi, Ovid Hexameter, Valbuena #5, some high scoring aussie, and others. Some thought it was the WOTN but all agreed it was absolutely in a prime drinking window right now. Lots of mature, rich balanced black fruit, leather, tobacco, chocolate, and earth notes are perfectly rounding out the glass.

Popped this for friends at our post-Thanksgiving day after orgy of leftovers and it was just an awesome drinking experience. It had a deep and magnificent dandelion yellow hue and once we tasted it, the wine was beautifully balanced full of tropical and mineral nuances. Wish i had more bottles of this cuz it still has years left in the tank.
