ucbeau Does not like this wine:
November 19, 2013 - Tonight just isn't a good night for this wine. It's showing a rather shrill side, with lots of high-toned red fruit and raging acidity. Smells and tastes out of balance and harsh. There's also a bitterness on the palate that I can't get past. I have definitely had better bottles, and this might just need to sit down for another few years.
