I’m not much of a wine aficionado but even I could tell this was something pretty special. Very powerful and fresh tasting, with an almost cigar-like flavour. This was one of several wonderful wines we drank at the home of a very generous family friend at Christmas.

05s are drinking so well!

I had that a month ago. It’s enormous and needs a long decant. Still has strong primary notes of blackberry and cedar. Tertiary notes of soft tobacco are starting to show. It’s still an infant. I’m not sure if I agree with Cellartracker’s 100-year window, but my god, this bottle is beautiful.
