  • I very much enjoyed this wine. It was incredibly complex… the nose was an exquisite mix of classic fine Bordeaux with new world richness and opulence. Still energetic and vibrant. Beautiful dark fruit. I did not get much of any Brett like some of the other reviews here. Drinking really well now but can probably keep for at least another 5-8 years.

  • The cork split on removal and when trying to extract the lower portion, it disintegrated into the bottle. Not a promising start. Fortunately the wine was intact and smelled of crisp, cool fruit. Oak elements emerged after an hour or so of being open and it was a wonderful complement to beef filet and a hamburger with bacon jam. Lots of life left for well-kept bottles.

  • At opening it had a sort of barnyard funk smell which continued in glass and throughout the first night. The wine was good though. The second day the funk smell had disappeared but the wine had declined in quality as some wines do.
