Tasted over several hours. Out of the bottle, there was some funk on the nose, but it cleared with time and became wonderful. Great vibrant acidity, beautiful nose. It has a palette impact consistent with what you would expect in a Village wine. However, Delicious!

Overall my experience with this wine has been rather disappointing. One bottle corked, several sub par and only one was shining. I guess I should have opened them earlier.

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs -nearly opaque dark red purple minimal bricking -aromatic rich full sweet black cherry -barely med acidity, med weight full round if only average depth, ripe almost creamy black cherry, med/med+ tannins without overt oakiness -dark fruit profile and excellent balance of the vintage, drinking beautifully now if still on the young side, more complex on the nose than the palate, very good

After waiting 10 years, I finally opened one of my biggest treasures. And frankly it was a little disappointing. Decanted for three hours and chilling it back for an hour resulted in a wine that had great balance but lacked seduction and expresiveness. A good wine without WOW. The next day it had opened up more and was a joy to drink. Hopefully it is going through a dumb phase. Let's see next year.
