Opened last night and found it very tightly wound with no end in sight. Placed the cork back on and am enjoying it now.
It opened up perfectly. Dark fruit., great mouthfeel with a touch of spice at the end.
It's a keeper! ☺️

Had this in 2015, why I opened so soon 🤷🏼‍♂️? Rookie mistake. The extra 10 years has made a huge difference. It has the stuffing for another decade at least.

Still not much of a nose to it but pairs well with a good Steak 🥩

This is exactly why Robert Parker give this wine 96 points.....I haven't had anything this perfect in a while. Some dark fruit, black truffle, and good spice!
