If I rated today it would be 89-90 as I know what this tastes like from years ago - outstanding, one of my favorites. Stored in a temp controlled cellar in pristine condition. Wine is showing a little thin at the moment, tannins are faded, good acidity and Rutherford dust ever present. Medium finish.

Wine still has a ton of structure, color and flavor. Utilized aeration device and the wine did to disappoint. Will be dipping into a few more of these before it passes its time.

Decanted and drank over 6 hours. The wine initially came across hot and over extracted, but with time in the glass, it opened up and showed excellent ripe fruit, smooth tannins and a long finish.
