Sunday, November 23, 2014 - This is really nice and evolved for a 5-year old bordeaux. Plenty of fruit on the black side with some nice acidity and balance. Not huge, more elegant. We had a feeling that as good as this was with restaurant dinner, at an entirely reasonable price, its not getting any better. Not a lot of headroom in the mouthfeel or structure. Not too complex. Reminded me a bit of a Brunello. Built on a fairly subtle foundation of eucalyptus, add some cherry and concentrated raspberry and top it off with a very nice, simple nose. Thoroughly decanted, with no residual sediment, also an indication that its built for the here and now. Great color, too.
