Very smooth and extremely easy to drink. Lots of fruit and flavor but front palate only. We have 3 more in the cellar and we will enjoy knocking them off.

This is something special and the years in the cellar have been very kind.
The bouquet is expressive and outstanding.
The wine itself has depth that exudes quality. The refined fruit has not faded and remains supple and classy all the way while retaining just enough structure to not be flabby.
This continues to drink really well and I highly doubt any meaningful improvement with further time in the cellar.
That being said, the better half wants to drink the remaining 3 bottles of this vintage over the next 3yrs. Let’s see if that happens as personally I see more risk than reward in that approach.
Looked up the current price of (new/current) vintages and the bottle price has risen from $45-50 to $70. Still a buy for me at that price but it’s getting dear.
My advice is if you have any of this vintage - enjoy now or over the next 6months.

Still immensely enjoyable. After the previous night tasting wines between 40 and 55 years old, this wine was so much more enjoyable.

A quality wine but (based on the bottle consumed Oct 2020) one that is passing/past it’s peak.
With 2 more in the cellar, it might be a bit late to drink up.
Planning to consume the remaking bottles this Christmas to avoid any further disappointment.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Quality all the way, but previous observations regarding the limited structure are accurate.
4 more in the cellar and its time to drink up.
