When I 1st had this wine I thot it could possibly approach the 97 in quality. Now I'm sure it definately can. Nose is stunning! Violets, roses, sweet red fruits and spices all come over on the palate. Entry is silky, weighty center and close to the legendary 5, but only 4-1/2 lapper finish. Extremely close to TTOIG. I originally scored this hummer a 92...Take it to 94/90. 89 by the box.14.5% alc. WW

Yeppo!!!! This dog be pedigreed! Expansive nose that almost overwhelms the sensory stuff. Very close to TTOIG. Killer stuff that has nowhere to go but down....(me throat). Tempting to take it to classic but will wait awhile. Jim-Dandy drinking. WW
