This bottle was still bright and spicy, but had a nice smoothness throughout. This bottle, while showing age, the age showed in a good way. Still going strong.

This bottle was showing its age and not in the best way. A good bit of Maderization on the front, with other taste characterizations being as expected. Instead of the expected 90++points, it was about 88. This wine may be past its prime,,,check your stash to see how it is developing!

Ready to drink from the pnp, but so much better 2 hours later.....spicy black zin fruit and a riveting acidity. Chalky tannins and bright red fruited ending with an extended finish of 20+ seconds. One of the best qpr of any wines I have ever bought. Matt Cline has aced another vintage in my book. Bordering on a 94 which is unheard of for such a commoner......
