95 Points

Friday, April 25, 2008 - Brought by Futronic and DoktaP to the champagne and bdx dinner at Sweets & Savories. This was a wowser of a wine. We let it decant for 1-2 hours before dipping in. Dark, rich, and brooding are what come to my mind, although it definitely had a terrific high-toned side as well. This wine struck a great balance between power and finesse, primary and secondary characteristics, fruit acid and tannins. Very well done, I suspect this has another 2 decades in it and will probably show even better in another 5-10 years.
