Monday, March 18, 2013 - Medium garnet. This is a complicated wine to review. Many thoughts, so am leaving out the usual descriptions. The wine develops with air but needs a lot (!) of air. It is overall a little stiff and unyielding in every way: nose, mouth-feel, flavors, finish, after-taste. But gradually, slowly it does release a very strong, very classic left bank cabernet character, at least in terms of a pre-1990 styling. Be patient with it in every way imaginable: in the cellar, on the table, in your glass. Bottle #4 of six.
