90 Points

Friday, January 26, 2007 - Last bottle was in 2004 and I recall it didn’t have the vibrancy when I tried this last back in 2001 (I still remember this wine on release, it was stunning). Although the fruit has settled down a lot, this was still a great bottle of wine. Very slow improvement over sixty minutes, it held for another 2 hours. Some chocolate and spice, some blueberry and a hit of eucalyptus. Overall, the nose was a little depressed, and the finish shorter than I recall in 2004. While I think this bottle was better than the one I tried in 2004, it’s still a shallow example of what it was back in 2001.
