Two Burgundy lovers and their weekend in Napa Valley (SF/NAPA): Oldest Bachelet I've had and really shows how much the flavor profile from Bachelet has changed. As one of the prior notes stated, very austere and fading fruit and the dominating flavor on the palate was this savory meaty fruit that just tasted tired. Not that typical dark brutish fruit I was expecting from this wine.

Showing superbly. Old school, strawberry, blue fruit, spicy, so clean and juicy with incredible perfume. 93

La Paulée de San Francisco - Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Late night, small glass, brief note. Still slightly brawny, but so much concentration, great black fruit and roasted meat that everything comes through in wonderful balance now.

Wife liked it, I thought the bottle had gone bad. Cloudy, too acidic, etc. Think some VA or other impurity. Ah well.
