All of us BTF followers are basically saying the same things about this fantastic wine. Absolutely no movement since last tasted nearly 8 months ago. Tonight, this wine's attractive stemminess and its loaded dark spicy fruit on a lithe, almost elegant frame each leave their prominent impressions. Agree that it is at its peak, easily staying here for 2-3 more yrs.

Checking in on SVD wondering if I should buy at a very elevated price over the $48 paid for this back on release.
Slow o'd for 45 minutes then served with dinner and finished later in the evening.
Tonights bottle seemed very fruit driven with raspberry, pomegranate, black cherry over a bed of cinnamon and baking spices. There mouthfeel was spot on with everything being harmonious. Probably at peak but should be able to hold for 2 or 3 more years to see what shakes out.

Last of my 750s from this vintage. A lovely wine to start the evening with Pat/Arantza/Valerie
From prior notes: "Vibrant ruby color, translucent. Nose of red fruits, potpourri, and spices. Palate of bright red fruits, raspberry, cherry cola, orange zest, rose pastille. High toned fruit throughout, expressive fruits and great finesse."
Great showing, should still go for a while if cellaring.

All about the spice and dark fruit without richness. Another year or 2 of peak drinking as this wine progresses toward an even darker profile and deeper green spice. Very enjoyable on its own, but I definitely prefer it with food.

Have really liked this wine in the past. This bottle was vinegar. Very disappointing
