5 of 5 good color, no signs of age 10 Of 15 aromas of dark cherry eucalyptus, sweet tobacco 15 of 20 softer mouthfeel, consistent with 10yo+ age. Still enough tannins for structure and mouthfeel pairing well with grilled steaks 10 of 10 age able. It’s softer, yes, but Kevin’s much maligned ‘11 is still drinking well

P&P thru a Vinturi, had with rare NY strip bison.. Even better after an hour wait.. Still a bit left in the bottle under glass to try after 24 hours. Quite a bit of sediment after 3+ years in my cellar.Pencil shavings, a hint of old leather, fruit on the nose. Really interesting on the palate and very silky as well. Sorry I only had one.

Thin, vegetal, astringent on day 1, put back and left overnight, Didn’t have much hope, but a different bottle of wine on day 2. Added weight and concentration, lost green notes and back to black and purple fruit, light cassis and mineral notes.

BIG flavor bomb cab that also has finesse. Great after an hour - managed to save a glass for the second day and it still drank really nicely
