1/27/2017 - RMapou Likes this wine: 84 pointsWondering, again, if I am missing something or whether our cellar is just not keeping this well. This was good, but not with the fruit or complexity that I expected from the wine. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

1/18/2017 - RMapou wrote: 82 pointsMaybe I am missing something that others notice. Or maybe our bottles have not held up as well because we do not have a constant cellar temperature. But to me this wine seems to be past its peak. Still good, but not with the full body and flavor profile that it had originally. |
