  Wow. What a disappointment. Nice color saturation. Wine was a deep purple almost leaning towards black. Bretty nose lead to more of the same on the palate. No mid palate and short on the finish. A real piece of crap or a highly flawed example.

  Drunk from magnum. The wine seems to be at peak. Very nice aromatics. Strong aroma of cassis, herbs, and leather. Round and elegant in the mouth with a long, balanced finish. Tannins are well integrated. Worked extremely well with grilled strip steaks.

  I'm perplexed by this wine. This is my second bottle this week. The first was flawed and I accept the fact that there will be defective bottles in every case. This one had a fairly advanced color for a 93. No vibrancy and lots of bricking. The nose showed lots of brett with a dirty edge. The brett did blow off after 1/2 hour or so but there was nothing exciting about the perfume or palate. It just tasted like a tired bottle of Burgundy that had seen better days. Perhaps it was mishandled along the supply chain. This was purchased from a reputable retailer in NJ. I have more and will not give up as my first bottle of this was wonderful.
