Marknob Does not like this wine: 85 points
September 18, 2020 - This wine came with high expectations based on exceptional reviews. Must admit I was very underwhelmed. 4 hours of decanting and it left.me .wamting. Light and not much substance or body..A real hole in the palate and nothing special. Quite disappointed. I paid $140 for this and money not well spent. Just don't get the hype.

I am not sure we drank the same wine. I did a full day decant, and the wine was still powerful and brooding at first pour, although much less punchy than when I had an initial tasting sip on open. Try another bottle perhaps? Maybe this style of wine is just not to your taste.
cheers! -

But the joys of drinking wine.........as the enjoyment and experience is always different for each individual. Cheers to you.
