$45.00, Retail. It is hard to believe that there are no TNs on this wine. Decanted over 1 hour, tasted over 2 hours, put it away. The last 2 sips were the best. This is still a baby, believe it or not. Don't even touch this wine. But, already this wine is a thing of beauty. You can just tell that all this wine needs is time. The tannins/fruit integrating beautifully. And, so much fruit, taste, full explosive body in this wine. Considering the young age, it is already a great one. Rating: 93+, & a hold, hold, hold. P.S.: Parker 96. It may just reach it in 3-5+. An impressive bottle of wine (someday) it will be.

It should be put away therefore there are no tasting notes.

Thanks for the update on this one, LCC. I've only got three left and will target 2008 or 2009 for the next one. I think you, Brad and I caught this one early in the game so it was showing very well.

My 2nd bottle tonight, I wanted to see the progress of this wine. Tonight, 91+ but I see about a year & a half ago a 93+. This is still a hold, or plenty of air time. Still, I don't see Parker's 96 points.
