This wine was ready to go from the second the cork was popped. This one is starting to show a bit of age and I think it's on the other side of the curve. I was impressed by the front of this wine. Appeared to show a lot of youth on the front. From what I remember, there was something about the finish of this wine that made me wish I had some honey BBQ wings. Lots of density up front. This wine is showing some signs of age, but not on the decline at all. This wine was singing, and was one of the contenders for wine of the afternoon. Drink now and enjoy!

Double decanted and then left open for 2 hours before Thanksgiving meal! Fabulous. We couldn't do the '04-'13 or it would ruin our vertical.

Drinking younger than its age. Full bodied but not overbearing.
