89 Points

Thursday, February 4, 2016 - After having tasted a bottle of this around a year and a half ago (my score back then was 89 and I concluded it was not ready yet) I tried another bottle of this yesterday. Decanted for 2 hours, upon pulling the cork the room filled with a lovely smell of Bdx and I thought that this wine must have improved since last time I tasted it. However, the experience on the palate did not fully echo what I picked up on the nose here - it certainly showed better then before, but I just felt the fruit is somewhat buried and the wine does feel overworked. I have 10 bottles of the case left and I am somewhat thinking that this wine is just not for me. Fingers crossed it gets better, but I would not hold my breath. I certainly feel RP has been way too generous here...
