Tuesday, September 8, 2009 - I approached this bottle with more anticipation than most. Commentary from others had led me to elevate my expectations, perhaps too much. It was a bit harsher, thinner and tannic than expected. The fruit was subdued or overpowered by comparison. Don't get me wrong. It was still a good wine. Just not as good as expected. Bottle variation, bad night for my palette, wine too young? Who knows. The only thing that I can say with conviction is that it needs more time and hopefully only that.
