8/31/2010 - greening wrote: NR"Aromatics of white blossoms, elderflower, guava and yeast, backed by chalky flint-like notes with a little brininess reminiscent of the sea. Palate of tangerine rind, lemon, green apple and kiwi flavors anchored by a minerality. Tarty and racy, my personal favorite with raw oysters." — Winemaker Nick Stez |

7/25/2010 - greening wrote: 92 pointsI was excited to see that a friend was opening a bottle of the 2000 Margaux at a recent tasting, but a little concerned that the bottle was painfully young. I mean, seriously. This is a 2000 Margaux, which both Wine Spectator and Robert Parker have given scores of 100. |

6/4/2010 - greening wrote: 50 pointsWeird, this bottle was tasty when we first opened it, but then quickly deteriorated to what one of my co-workers described as 'samoan armpit.' I've never before seen a wine open up in a negative way. |
