90 Points

Thursday, December 3, 2015 - HDH holiday tasting (Chicago, IL): This was a surprisingly light bottle of wine, but did it show like a star. Perhaps a few years past its prime, but this was not in any severe state of decline. There was a lovely bell pepper note toned with pencil shavings and leather, as well as tart red fruit that was surprising to find on such an old wine. You could find all the same things on the palate, but the acidity at this point has started to stick out a little bit. Drink sooner than later.
