85 Points

Friday, April 12, 2013 - I was disappointed with this wine. It was much lighter in body than I expected given the 14% alc. and the Parker score. It also didn't display much complexity. It had improved by the end of the dinner, but not by very much. I think the reason for some of the differences between RP scores and CT scores is letting the wine breathe. I aerated this one with a handheld device and then drank it. I don't think that was sufficient. From reading other CT reviews, I've concluded that this wine should be decanted for about 90 min. before drinking in order to fully appreciate it. Otherwise it doesn't display much character.
