Right after opening this it was pretty tight and almost a bit gassy. Within about 15 min. this totally went away and the wine really opened up. This wine is so pure, so clean and precise that you could use it as a textbook example of what Chablis tastes like when done well. This will not overpower other wines but it will win in the end with the precision. For $40 it is a very nice value and now I really can't wait to get my '02 Raveneau in.

Lord this is tasty. Complete and harmonious. Just beautiful Cabernet. Nothing out of place at all, just seamless. Drinks great now but I bet it will age really well also. If you get some on the mailer be glad. I think it is the best they have done
