Sunday, July 22, 2012 - I'm no expert, but I thought this was more Bordeaux-like than the Bordeaux we tasted it against. Muted fruit, nice dusty tannins, some coffee, some black cherry. Not a ton of secondaries, some forest floor smells and flavors. Went spectacularly well with the NY steaks, grilled fingerling potatoes and Caesar salad (and green beans, which I passed on). In its class, this is a very nice wine, but I wouldn't say it's life-changing. That said, I think it's fine to drink now, and won't improve tremendously.
