This bottle drank very differently than last years. Tons of sediment. Perfect cork but fruit is gone and the wine tasted stewed. Never came around. Had to open something else as this was unsatisfactory. Bummer

‘Just a heads up, this wine is drinking richly and favorably. Open a bottle and let it sit for a day. ‘Hard to believe but true. Plenty of life. More so than for the ‘01.

Out of the bottle. No bricking of which to speak. Braised meat and acrylic paint fumes on the nose. Fast thin legs. Nice cab appearance. Some florals on the nose as well. Tannins and alcohol well integrated. Very short but clean finish. At the same time if ya breath out a few times, flavor appears in the nose. Meat and terroir on the palate. Still drinking quite nicely.
Second day: lavender and bees’ wax on the nose. Rich full dark fruit on a hot palate with a short clean finish.

My lone bottle and you got a hint of alcohol on the finish but otherwise was a good wine. It went quickly amid a myriad of other wines shared on the same date as part of a big wine event. Recommend drinking soon.

Respectfully youthful and overall very nice. Medium bodied. Integrated soft tannin. Some fruit. Moderately complex . Ok finish. Very smooth.
