Any specific descriptors? Where do you think its going? Aren't you concerned about the vintage?

fresh, fresh fresh. very aromatic. like a warm spring rain in a sunny meadow replete with lovely damsels and lots of backlight. since freshness is its strong point, i don't look for positive evolution (and of course none is needed). i know i'll have drunk all of mine before the fun lessens.

Sorry, dry humor. I was joking per Joe D's thread.

Loved the one I had, have one left, sigh. Robert, you might want to fix the title for search function purposes.

is there a typo? or are you saying that discussing the unobtainable only makes people sad?

Opened my first bottle of this tonight (senses only half recovered from a late season cold). I'm in general agreement with this assessment, but I'll also add that it shares not a little similarity to the much-beloved (in this household) '08 ESJ Bone Jolly rouge. Gouleyant in the extreme with a platter of ribs off the smoker.

That IX still retains that vivid freshness is great to hear. Maybe it's the screwcap. I have one more I figured had probably faded.
