This was a major disappointment. The oak overpowered everything else. The wine had complexity and good fruit but could not get out of the way of the overpowering oak.

Still drinking just as well as it was a few years ago. Plenty of fruit, a couple more years to enjoy it.

Fantastic. Layers of fruit, perfectly balanced, a little pyrazine complexity, probably complements of the cabernet franc. Very well-made wine, which I had more.

Bloody excellent. 10 years of rest and it's definitely at peace with who it is. Structured, elegant, silk-soft, integrated, PURE. Nice perfume nose, oaky bliss. A touch of lime zest on the palate as well.

Lovely bottle. Tight in the beginning, opened up in decanter over a 2 hour dinner. Would definitely decant. Balanced hillside fruit, more red than dark. Drinking great.
