@Kirk Alexander @David L @Joe Lucca @Mike Rowe @Ron R I brought this gorgeous beast to the party. Kirk and I both placed it slightly behind the insignia since that had such bottle age to it and was drinking perfectly. However, we could both truly appreciate the amount of perfection this bottle contained. Time will indeed round out the wine BUT OMG was it still immensely, insanely great right now! I don't regret popping one of these early at all in anyway shape or form. Awesomeness in a glass! Bravo Mike!! @Mike Smith

Awesome red that could use a few more years of cellaring. Big wine!

An amazing wine! Dining by on the Celebrity Solstice in the Murano Restaurant enjoying with chateaubriand as we are leaving Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, heading to Melbourne.

Very delicious 😋 decanting would be recommended. Exceptional fruit intertwined with firm yet soft tannins. This is still a baby 👶

Second favorite wine at the Christmas dinner. Competition was tough as this is usually a favorite.
