Monday, October 7, 2013 - I think this is being under-rated by other CTers and by Parker and the Pros as well.

Deep purple color, big intense extracted taste. Proper Left Bank Bordeaux profile of cedar, pencil, vanilla, appropriately balanced with acidity. Tannins are heavy but not astringent and will support aging if you please.

This is a full-flavored wine for sure, but profiles appropriately for the terroir and is both drinkable today and ageable for at least 5 years.

I opened it about 2 hours before drinking, and gave it just a bit of a chill.
