9/15/2015 - MattLA Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis puppy needs a massive decant. The first two hours of it being open are pretty useless. Then the wine comes together with some structure and dark fruits. Medium finish with the perfect hint of raisin on the back end. An enjoyable wine but it still does not really compete with the 2003 Foley Claret.
