10’Lail Mole Hill. Nose of spring flowers. Blackberry, black currant, white chocolate. Classic Howell with age. BIG middle palate, runs right through the back. Just starting to show its age. Touch of sweet tannins, low acidity. Won’t get any better. Enjoy over the next 5/8 years.

We were a little disappointed with this tonight. It lacked the focus and precision we have come to expect from this bottling. Good tannic structure, but lacked sweetness. Finishes with mint and moderate oak.

Absolute Rockstar! Thank you David for sharing this gorgeous beauty with us. Christine & I uncorked this beauty in celebration our our 15 year anniversary! I love the story behind the wine as well. Thank you for sharing! I owe you one bud!
Lush, extremely balanced, well rounded, opulent dark blue fruit. With a finish that Lance Armstrong would be proud of!! It just kept going and going and going!!
thanks again DAVID 🎤!!!!

Out of mag. Dark ruby red and insanely intense nose. Deliciously layered, starting off a little dirty, with a ton of dark fruits, cocoa, forest floor and light earthiness. Moderate plus tannins (8/10) and full bodied. The dark cocoa and fruit carries through the lingering finish. This can easily go another 15+ years. Drink till 2030+. An absolute treat thank you @David A Lentine!

@David A Lentine I found someone that is as demented as I am when it comes to sharing wines! Thank you my friend😍🍷🍷😍. This is my 1st time enjoying this particular bottle. It's beautifully balanced with a marathon finish. Dark cocoa, dark blackberry fruit but still nimble on the palate. Freaking insanely good!!! Shit., now I owe you 1 David!!!😜
