Wow ~ of all the vintages in the flight this one did it for me! Sumptuous nose as well but far from subtle. Flavors run deep starting red but quickly turning black. Strong structure of the vintage still there but finally shedding a few layers of tannins revealing walls of mocha and truffle. D!G — 3 months ago

the candy theme continues ~ this time dark razzles ~ and the fruit POPs! Now I appreciate what is in the glass, and not sure I’d fault it for anything, but not sure I can award it 💯 like three other sources ~ or even 99 for that matter ~ BUT I am sure willing to taste it dozens of more times over the years to see how it evolves 😉 KUDOS Cos! 🍷🤘 — 3 months ago
