Friday, February 14, 2014 - My tasting note from one year ago applies to this bottle as well. Still quite unevolved, although its grip has loosened. This time round I'll add to the descriptors: hollow core, stemmy, and a bit gritty. Bottom line: I'd be happy to have this wine on my table any night; but one needs to manage expectations with this wine -- like many wines of this vintage, enjoy it for what it is, rather than complain about what it is not. As far as drinking window goes, drink now; it will be on its plateau of maturity for many years, but will not evolve into a better wine than it is today.
