Second of 3 bottles, both disappointing. Weak, muddy, Barolo. Expected this wine to be young, but not so far. Both seemed old and tired, on their last legs. Assume got 3 bottles that had been mishandled. Drinkable, but most disappointing. no score.

Katy 25 birthday at Bocce Restaurant. Popped and poured. Dark eggplant color, traditional right bank Bordeaux. Bordeaux nose and flavor profile immediately on opening that grew stronger as time passed. No hint of alcohol or tannin, yet concentration so strong, believe lots of life left. 5 people drained the bottle in short order.

Surprisingly youthful, crisp, clean, no sign of age or oxidation.
The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. Absent the bread yeast aromas and flavors I love about Champagne. Great bottle of mature wine that should hold for years.
