2007 DeLille Cellars D2Columbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/29/2020 - grantyerke Likes this wine: 89 pointsDecadent. A round mouthful of deep juicy blackberry fruit. Well balance Bordeaux grapes, but lacking transition to take it to the next level. A great Tuesday night or Covid any-day bottle, but not worth the 11 years of cellar |
