4/2/2022 - Deo68 Likes this wine: 80 pointsPale garnet. A little accelerated in ageing for a 6 year old wine. Characteristic spicy nose with lovely black fruit. Some stemminess remains but this wine has otherwise already opened up and is drinking nicely. Nice long finish to end a very enjoyable wine. Now till 2024. |

2/11/2020 - Deo68 Likes this wine: 80 pointsDecanted 2 hours before meal. Medium tawny. Restrained cassis and mint. Well structured balance between the elements. Not as exuberant as one would expect from others' tasting notes. Medium finish.

9/23/2017 - Deo68 Likes this wine: 80 pointsRobe rather paler than I expected. Opened well both on palate and nose. Silky soft and supple. Typical large berry and plum pinot flavors on palate. Hints of fading fruit and acid suggest the wine is past peak already. Nothing overly complex. Shortish finish. Not bad but not spectacular. Drink up. Now till end 2018.

9/23/2022 5:51:00 AM - Thanks for taking the time to comment. My point system may be different from yours. How I rate wines is in my Bio. The close system marking used by JS, WS or RP is too narrow for me. One should use the full range of a 100 point system. Its would have been an outstanding wine by my system, except it got marked down because of the accelerated ageing. Peace. 🙏
My Point System:
90-100 exceptional.
81-89 outstanding but just lacking that little extra
71-80 good. Worth a repurchase
61-70 average. May buy again if price is right
51-60 passable. Wont buy again.
