I don't know, it seems like the lack of love for Thivin has been there a while. But now I know why - it takes 30 years for it to come around.

Can I be the weird uncle who bores everyone with pointless stories?

i like 90-93 point stories.
 
Because of the conversation here, I opened an 05 Thivin CdB this weekend in some suspense, and was happy to find it pretty tremendous: really vigorous acidity, sheer, fine tannins, enough fruit to balance, with a sense of some held in reserve. I don't know about 30 years, but I could see it - in my speculative, inexpert way - drinking very nicely in another 5-7 years, and hanging fire for a while thereafter. Certainly no crime to drink one now.

It's refreshing that we can just keep talking about the exact same things, time and again.

We may have retasted a bottle or two since the last round, no?
