Opened another for lunch today. As suspected this sucker has been in the weight room. Nose developing beautifully with berries...black, blue and huckle with some cherry nuances. All hit the palate with some plums thrown in for good measure and a nice spicy undercurrant. Some tannins that will still take another 2-4. IMHO this will become a superior bottling from this venerable producer. Balanced and bootiful. WW. No change in scoring. WW
