Jhcwine Does not like this wine: 88 points
November 18, 2010 - See my prior tasting notes on this wine. This bottle had an insufficient backbone. There was sufficient fruit, but just about no tannin and no complexity. More like a juice than a wine. Not as good as the last bottle of this batch (I bought 6). This could have come from a bad batch. Overall, the 2006 was quite good (fabulous QPR), the 2007 good and the 2008 just barely a 90.
