9/12/2016 - FLI wrote: 87 pointsAnother disappointing bottle - flat nose, weak fruit. Didn't seem corked, but maybe cooked. Drinkable, but certainly not what the winemaker intended. I just checked my records and learned that these bottles of mine came from the scam artists at Premier Cru. Who even knows if they're genuine? They probably got them from some no-name auction house before the feds closed in on them. Oh well - my guess is the whole case is a total loss.

3/18/2015 - FLI Likes this wine: 88 pointsA bit disappointing. Out of balance when opened (stewed tomatoes), but after 30 minutes it balanced out. Still showing firm tannins. A nice wine, but considering the big numbers from Parker and the Margaux appellation, I found it underwhelming.

2/23/2014 - FLI wrote: flawedFirst time I've gotten skunked by Last Bottle. What a bust. Vegetal, like a bad Cab Franc, harsh on the palate. Nothing to recommend it. I was surprised because I've had good Dashe zin in the past, and previous CT reviews were OK. Oh well. Score would be 80, but I'm calling it flawed to give the wine a chance. I hope my next bottles are better!
