  First bottle opened of a case of 12. Lots of deposit, fairly solid. Pleasant fruity nose, rich sweet fruit on the palate with soft tannins. Not complex (yet?) but a very enjoyable modern style Bordeaux. Might develop further though it will be hard to resist the luscious fruit.

  per usual, reports of the death of this wine was greatly exaggerated. (I find drink by dates in CT are typically conservative for my taste - unless it's a well made Rioja which people seem to give a 40 years past vintage...) Maybe I just like aged wines. Had this with Gordon Ramsy's butter based ny strips. Delicious. I have one more which I'll hold onto for at least 2-4 more years. It tasted to me like it could stand up to a legit 15 yo napa cabs. Lots more dark fruit and body and sweetness than I imagined it would have. I haven't had one in a long time, but I'm going to keep picking them up if I see them in the 20-25 range, that's crazy good for the price at this age.

  1ere bouteille.
  Nez assez mutique. Peut-être servi trop froid vers 17°
  Robe noire, aucune trace d'évolution.
  En bouche : assez monolithique .
  Gloabalement déçu, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux !

  Not my favorite vintage and not as strong as more recent vintages. Dark fruited and quite extracted with heavy toast and mocha notes. Don’t get much nuance or terrior here.
