  Gave this a 96 three years ago when doing a virtual tasting with Mark and it's ticked up a notch here. Feels like this is close to peak. Still has years to go but may lose some of the fruit characteristics.
  Gave this a two hour full decant. Smooth as silk, dark fruit notes. Didn't get the over-oakiness AJREZ got so might have just been their bottle.
  Close to classic here.

  Drinking so so well. Ripe and luscious dark fruit. Toasted oak, spices, black pepper, tobacco, licorice, dried herbs and dark chocolate. Awesome structure, acid and tannins. Amazing from start to finish. Great for my palate.

  90 minute decant, then back into bottle for a wine tasting with the fellas this evening. Too much oak for me... needs a few more years. vanilla is dominant at the moment for my palate. could be pleasing to others but needs more age for me.

  Opened at The Inn at Little Washington (3 Star Michelin) dinner with wife and great friends.
  
  Decanted about 2 hours by the Somm prior to dinner reservation.
  Incredible structure, profound layers of toasted dark fruits, cedarwood, leather, cinnamon and host of barrel spices, dark chocolate, muscular and super long finish.
  Enjoyed with a delicious multi-course meal at The Inn!

  Gorgeous wine that’s at the start of its long drinking window. Needs quite a bit of air at this point (double decanted for 4 hours). I suspect will continue to improve for years to come.
