Grrrr.
Unless the 16 has changed since I had it earlier this year, I wouldn’t even bother opening one, too tight and tannic. It’s a long term wine for sure. 12 should surely be drinking well now, it’s always been a warm, forward vintage. I drank through a bunch of 13s and 14s when they were young, but I haven’t had one in several years to know how they’re drinking. Might be good, might be not showing much. I think 11 was always drinkable.
Counselor I believe you mean “transparency”. I looked up “transparity” and it appears to be the name of some cloud based tech firm. 
Robert, a client?
I cannot disclose confidences, that would be too transpacious.
OK, I’ll make a concession and start 2012 ahead of 2010 and 2011.
With the rest, still old to young.
Thanks for all the input
