The cork came out in 2 pieces just like my last bottle so I am going to raise a complaint with the vineyard LOL. scored this a 92 last time, and we're down to a 90. Give it time to open and the wine is fragrant on the nose. The palate has chocolate, blackberry, blueberry, and some syrupy texture that gives way to some tannins and acidity. It's not bad, but not stellar; drink now as it is not getting better and passing its prime.

Opened last night and the cork came out in 2 pieces. Despite that, the wine has held up quite nicely with a fruit forward, right Bank Bordeaux. The nose was expressive and after opening allowing the amount of funk to air out, it was quite enjoyable, and tannins are almost fully resolved. Nobody here disliked it but IMHO it is a 'drink now' wine. This is one of my favorite vineyards and they make great wines for the price

Very nice, no formal notes. Nose with blue/red fruit. Mellow tannins, dry, nice finish.

Fresh, quite juicy, fully integrated, black and red fruit and a bit of backbone. Very nice, gives a feeling of depth. Longish finish.
