92 Points

Sunday, August 19, 2007 - 8/05 Good nose - probably because of the cabernet franc - medium to thin bodied - acidic on the front - the cabernet franc was obvious - not a smooth blend - the finish bit of the petit verdot - was expecting alot more out of it considering it was a top rated '98 - time won't help. 3/07 Re-tasted - Cherry earthen nose - fruit starts flat and bland with long-lasting structured bitter finish - it evolves within and hour of decanting into a more balanced aged ready now wine - the fruit steps forward showing sweetness with slight acidity - the finish emerges with layers of chocolate and softened tannins - the bitterness leaves - the wine blooms. A definite drink now. 92 pts.
