Forgot I had this one laying around and decided to pop open before it was too late. Quite a bit more enjoyable than their newer releases. The youthful clunky tannins have subsided. Still shows a purity of fruit and structure, but more mellow and elegant. Great acidity and mouthfeel. Lots of blue plum, blackberry, spice.

For the four individuals on Cellartracker who have this bottle of wine, it is a really good bottle of wine. Bordeaux in style and taste. Very rich in the mouth. Dark color. Low tannins but nice in structure. Not jammy in any way. Plum, coffee, and chocolate flavors. I have no idea what motivated me to purchase this or where I heard about it. But, I now wish I had purchased more.
