I took my last bottle to our monthly CWG (blind tasting) and it was the wine of the night, the closest someone got on the year was 2005! This wine is vibrant and beautifully balanced, nice bouquet and mid palate and lovely finish.
Taken to our monthly (blind) CWG. This was the favorite wine for half of the group (8 people). Not showing it’s age, it felt like a 12-15 years old left bank. The body is medium plus, good consentratuin and balance of fruit, acidity and oak. It’s low in tannins so I would drink fast rather than holding.

call it 91/92... I had greater expectations for this wine... it had the kind of structure (acid and body) that I like (ie not super big, round, flabby, fruit-bomby) but frankly there wasn't enough fruit on the palate... could this have been shut down for now... hmmm... took to a blind tasting and this didn't attract as much attn as I had assumed it would

Reruns - The Wine Event: Not decanted, this was big, and the tannins are resolved. Blueberry and blackberry along with earth and maybe some leather. This was not overly complex, but it was incredibly satisfying.

Nice soft well-developed tannins. Fruit holding up but fading. Needs to be drunk soon.
