A few of us enjoyed the 95 HB along side the 94 a few years ago; I seem to recall it having lots of life left and was quite enjoyable.
Hope it shows well!

powerful, sweet, but finding good acidity to balance out that gobs of jammy fruit leaving a nice dusty finish.
Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Celebrated anniversary with my wife last night. Turned out our reservation was 45 minutes prior to when TPEwinedrinker, his lady friend and some of her friends were dining at the same resto. We saved a couple glasses of 2006 Louis Roederer Cristal for their arrival. TPE in turn sent over 2018 Paul Hobbs Ellen Lane Estate Chardonnay and 2018 Pierre Gonon Saint-Joseph. Fun times!
