3/29/20, 6:04 PM - I saw your comment just in time! Still have a full glass left. I will let it sit for a few hours. Will see what happens. On another note: Montelena used to be one of my favorite wines. In my cellar the oldest vintage of Montelena is 1998. I stopped buying it about 5 years ago. I feel the something has changed and it is not what it use to be

My personal experience with BV is that some of the corks are not of a high quality: I had several bottles of the same vintage develop leaks through the cork.

We don't have any agendas, we don't get paid by winemakers, distributors and other interested parties. One can get a true idea on how good (or bad) a particular wine is if enough people post their thoughts.But, be it as it may, a score of 85, according to Cellar Tracker scale, makes this wine in my opinion "Very Good to Excellent"As you can see for yourself, my review of this wine is one of the most extensive and systematic, not just "I like it, give it a 90" type of review. When I review wines, I use a "Systematic Approach to Wine Tasting" method used by WSET, and I have a WSET Level 3 Award in Wines with Merit from WSET. I highly recommend, if you are a serious wine connoisseur, to familiarize yourself with WSET or similar wine education organization On the wine itself, as you can see from my review, it has only primary aromas and flavors, it lacks severely in Secondary (post fermentation and development) and Tertiary (maturation) aromas and flavors. I also recommend that you use BLIC mnemonic to judge a particular wine: B: Body, not very substantial (medium minus) L: Length, the best part of this wine, it's finish is medium and satisfying, I: Intensity, aromas and flavors of this wine are only primary and are very basic at that, C: complexity, only primary flavors are present, no secondary or tertiary are present: pretty basic wineCheers!!!!
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
