Drinking lovely right now! Dark purple color. Integrated oak and vanilla with blue and black fruit. Great texture and medium plus depth. One of my favs!

1hr+ decant. Got better as we progressed through dinner and dessert. Dark red color with purple hues. Complex wine that combines Bordeaux, Napa, and Tuscany all in one. Massive blue and black fruit. Subtle cedar and anise elements. It’s like candy in a glass. The texture is insane. Loved it!!

Anniversary #14 wine! Getting to slim pickings for the 2012 G Major 7. Nice wine. Starting to get to its zenith, but compared to the 2010, this one has a lot of growing up to do but still a solid 95 today. Blackberries and brambly fruit. Not as weighted as the 10. At the moment. Ample black fruit to the finish. A good wine to celebrate #14. Lots of tannin still present. Starting to gain a little maturity. Pepper finish. Great expression of Oakville fruit.

Always awesome! Not as good as my previous bottle, but still worth every penny! All characteristics very similar to my last note. Got much better with air, so definitely decant for an hour minimum.

1 out of 10 last night for me....the WOTN!!! Can't believe I brought the best bottle, but excited that I have 5 more!! Wine was amazing! Huge blueberry flavor, with nice hints of vanilla. Great balance and well refined, with a silky smooth finish. Loved it, as did everyone else :)
