February 15, 2019 - Wish I had the experience of the past four reviewers. I found the wine very "hot" which overwhelmed the wine. Cork completely disintegrated. Perhaps poor storage.

April 7, 2018 - So glad I took a chance on this at auction ($41) ... did a quick decant per one of the previous tasting notes, and noticed that it was quite acidic and a little watery about 15 min in, after 45 min in the decanter it was absolutely stellar.
PSA - As per the previous note, the cork completely disintegrated into the bottle, even when using an ah so. Fortunately had a stainless steel mesh strainer laying around so poured the wine through that into the decanter with no noticeable amount of cork particles making it through. -

February 22, 2013 - Brittle cork, but perfect fill with no evidence of seepage. Quick decant, as there was a lot of sediment. Very expressive aromatics of dried red fruit and berries, with some roses and mineral like nuances. Red fruit and mineral palate with great concentration and a medium + very slight tannic finish. Great acidity and balance. I didn't detect any traces of oak. This bottle was fantastic for the $35 I paid at auction recently.
