Was stored in pristine conditions so huge bummer that we weren't able to enjoy it. Fortunately we had some great burgundy, Chablis and SQN to enjoy. |

9/22/2016 - JR512 Likes this wine: 95 pointsWOTN. Up against 2008 Del Dotto Cab and was a bit more smooth and not as in your face cab. Paired with filet mignon from Capital Grille. Decanted for 45 minutes. Has much more time to go in cellar. Fortunately have 5 more bottles of it to enjoy! |
