Like where this is going. Fresh, alive with its acid profile, moderate weight, really moving into its smokey phase. Tobacco, cigar, meat, crushed violet, sweet licorice, crunchy black cherry and berry fruit. Much more expressive than LBT, much more alluring perfume.

Prefect example of how the combination of wine, place, and people can lend themselves to pure happiness, if only for a few hours and 750mL. Enjoyed this 2010 bottling at the Ahwahnee Lodge dinning room (Yosemite NP) with rack of lamb and roasted autumn vegetables. Showing great concentration, age, and structure. Cheers to more moments like this one!

Jun 3rd, 20152001 fresh with dark fruit and yet slight gamey and earthy. Some spice but overall the fruitiness rules the day. A pleasure to drink. Could be a magnum influence on the aging. Oh so nice to have a big bottle to enjoy.
