My last bottle and this wine was just hard and not fruit forward. Had a trace of bitterness that never left. Disappointed overall, this wine was piven a 92 point write up by Spectator and only one of the bottles of the 6 I had came close...

Better than a couple years ago, no evidence of being over the hill in this bottle.

Definitely past its prime with harsh acids and tannins dominating little fruit

A new world style Bordeaux blend, lots of acidity and fruit. Still feels very young given the age. Not very 3 dimensional, but a very enjoyable wine.
