Rich and acidic in the mouth made for a nice accompanyment for a light Lobster Bisque en Croute. Consumed over 3.5 hours, did not disappoint by the end. |

After an hour and a half the tannins became more noticeable. At the 2.5 hour mark the tannins had subsided and the oak and fruit were most enjoyable. Definitly see the violets and blueberries that Pierre noted. No rush to open the rest. |

Coats the glass and fairly persistent legs. Appears to have nice fruit still fighting maturing tannins. Who's going to win? If the tannins soften some in the next year a good QPR B2K. Try again this time next year. |

6/29/2002 - slmral wrote: 93 pointsOne of the bottles my folks bought at the vineyard in 1971 or 1972. Held in the cellar for all this time waiting for the proper moment. Shared with Marc and Sammy at dinner. Remarkably youthful for such an old wine. A wonderful old wine nose but the fruit, although subdued was still there. Still showing some of that jammy quality. Three more bottles, but no big rush. |
