Slightly different experience this go around. The high octane (15.5%) hit me harder. While possessing amplebfruit, the finish, coupling heat and bitter tannins made me think the wine was conceived for the American market, with some thought that it (we) or our wine critiques, may gravitate towards big, hedonistic bombs. I wonder how that came about....

Nice little big boy... All the makings of a great wine from a good vintage, save for a bit of complexity. Can not ask for much more for the fare. Now I'm curious about my Lirac and CdP holdings of the same label...

Still drinking very well, but that was my last one. Probably nearing end-of-life however.
