  I concur. My last bottle and strangely full of bubbles. Lost most of its fruit and not much left.

  At best this was okay. Rich golden color, pleasant enough nose, but oddly effervescent out of the bottle; while the bubbles did diminish over the course of an hour, they never left entirely, and imparted a sharp note that was not appropriate to the wine. Sufficient flavor, but no dominant theme; not much oakiness (although some in the background), some buttery notes, but then . . . nothing. If I'm not to succomb to grade inflation here, and I take the 100-point rating scale seriously, then this is no better than a 79. I won't be looking for any more bottles, at least not in this vintage (which seems to have worn out its welcome).
