June 11, 2006 - I have mixed feelings about this wine. At first, my impression was..it was smooth..very smooth and unassuming. No complaints overall, but then again nothing that really stood out, espcially to justifty its hefty pricetag. It reminded me very much of the 2000 Chateau Guibon, which is 1/3 of the price but of the same mild and smootyh character. But as the meal progressed, I believ it is one of those small handful of wines I will remember for the long haul. But I am not sure is that due to the set of circumstances (good food---frilled chicken/london broil/zukes and squash with an appetizer of delallo olives and a mild blue cheese, good excercise today---yoga/jog and doing the lawn; and a great day with my kids metal detecting in the local park and finding a lot of "treasure"----66 cents to be exact), or is it really due to the wine being "that" good....or am I just a slave to a price tag, subliminally trying to justify that this wine really is extradinoary due to its high price. Who knows. All I know is that I am glad that I have a second bottle of this wine so that I may hold onto it and try it again...maybe a few years from now....
