Good as usual but really best with age. If this sits for another 5 years it will be great. Big and bold wine. Deep earth and berries. True Rutherford reflection

Definitely better with age! Worth it to get the older vintages when they come up. Mellows and has richness to it. Very Rutherford dirt tasting.
