• Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 97 points

  September 22, 2021 - Celebrating our 24th anniv on 9-20-21...a wine I bought futures on when I knew this would be our wedding year wine. All bottles have been pretty much perfect! Glad I decanted at home before dinner, as I had a fight with the cork...it shredded into pieces as it was glued to the neck of the sediment caked bottle...should have used the Durand! Decanted, and brought to the restaurant...the wine was in amazing shape! So dark and youthful...silky smooth seamlessness...loaded with rich and pure dark berry fruits...SO integrated and extracted like an oozing chocolate brownie! Has wonderful dusty graphite dryness of tannins...plenty of structure for a long long life...amazing complexities of mint tobacco, herbs, walnut, rich mineral soil, leather, cigar box...went perfectly with an italian herb chimichurri grilled ribeye! Glad to see this wine still going strong as ever after 24yrs...just like us! Of course...always 97pts.
