My last bottle of a case. I really am glad I bought this wine. I didn't have a single bad or off bottle. This is rustic, but is tasty and juicy, and pretty well balanced with its 14% abv. I think this will continue to live for another decade or so - it's a great weeknight wine to pair with food.

This must be at or close to its peak. All secondary at this point. Quite savory but not in a natural wine or brett-ish way. More leathery and earthy. Excellent under the radar Bordeaux from an incredible vintage

Any greenness noted in my prior reviews seems to be gone now - I decanted this bottle (half of it) for an hour or so before drinking - it is just outstanding. Beautiful delicious fruit and a nice long finish. Still youthful. This is great wine for an incredible price.

This needed to breathe way longer than we let it. It was better on the 2nd and 3rd days. Next bottle should breathe for several hours I'd think.

Still holding up quite well. Very rustic - loads of tannins, but otherwise fairly balanced. A good food wine.
