I'm eager to read any responses to this, as I've got a couple tucked away and haven't tried one yet.

For what it's worth, the critics' scores were:

Parker - 92
Tanzer - 93
Laube - 93

Let me know if you want the full TN from any of the above.

Had this back in September, here are my notes:

Wonderfully sweet aromas of an orchard. Still a fair amount of tannin followed by an absolutely voluptuous body of plum, pine and spice. A really wonderful wine and not near starting its downhill slide. 95 pts.

I have one more and will probably hold for a few years to see how it develops.
