My first taste of the 2013, May 7 2015. Always somehow simultaneously the same and different, from taste to taste and night to night. But always amazing. Sort of fresh at this point, but widens in the glass and I can't wait to watch it grow over the years. — 10 years ago

2005. Spectacular firestorm of flavor. Starts secondary, gets to quartiary pretty soon. Oxygenated not oxydized. Breathing. How does such a big wine stay so calm and nimble with food? Amazing. — 10 years ago
