PnP. Light TCA as has happened during the case I bought on release. Too bad, too, as the fruit seems rather fresh and robust (nose). Seems like a fit bottle could easily go another 5+ years at a high level. Last bottle of a case, fwiw.

PnP. Not quite as exciting as it was about a year ago, but still really good; peak complexity at about the 90-minute mark. Be sure to have the serving temp close to 18C the entire time. The nose is explosive, beautiful, balanced. The med+ bodied palate shows good weight, and avg+ depth and complexity, but it's ultimately outshone by the magnificent nose. A 3oz pour on day two suggests this is better in its youth; I'll drink my remaining six bottles within the next three years. The 15,0% abv. is well integrated. Given this consistent showing, and its incredible value (<$30), this is easily recommended+

Served too warm, unfortunately, this was a blocky mess. Sweet, anonymous, with the 15,0% EtOH surrounding the experience. A shame.
