Drank alongside the 10, almost indistinguishable . Wonderful. Still has lots of life left. Opened up quickly, minimal sediment. Drink or hold.

Given the vintage, the ripeness of this wine is amazing! Clove, cinnamon, blackberry and cherry cola meet you on the entry. Young, but the palate enters bold. Leading to a plushy midpalate and a long finish of velvety tannins.
Bold, solid but could use some more time
