Much better than the 05' of which I had six and gave four away. Looking forward to picking up some more of this. Medium bodied with great aromatics and nice long finish. Great with food. Should be good for about another 8 -10 years if stored properly.

There is clearly something wrong here: I have tasted a second bottle with and without food and my opinion has not changed. So how can this be I wonder? Did JS from the Wine Spectator taste the same wine? Did the winemakers send out a batch of great wine and then follow it up with a different wine under the same labeling? It's hard to figure out exactly whats up here, but I have never in 15+ years of tasting wine encountered such a discrepancy.

Very overrated wine (96) by Wine Spectator reviewer JS. Nice nose, medium body, straightforward one deminsional finish. Better with food, not a stand alone wine. Have six bottles purchased from Wine Exchange in Orange Co. Ca. Will try 2nd bottle soon and amend review if nessessary. Can hardly belive that JS from the Wine Spectator could have tried the same bottle of wine.
