hope we opened a weird bottle because the smell and taste were so different from what we thought it would.. But the balance was amazing.

1/11/2015 - Midde Likes this wine:

Really weird.. First when open we all got the smell of the bottle being corked and undrinkable.. Left it over night and tried it for fun and the cork smell had faded a little on the smell but was still there.. But in the mouth and after taste had evolved and was quite pleasing..

Amazing wine but a bit to early to drink.. Unless you decant it for a good few hours... Im definitly keeping the rest of the bottles a few more years in the cellar before i open the next one...

To early to drink now.. Open a few hours before or wait to drink

From the start when i drank it, it was wonderfull. then after a while.. "dont know if i ate something bad" it turned out tasting way to much alcohol and un balanced.

Really cool to try this. It tasted really sweet, like sauternes..

My favorite of all the angelus we had tonight.

A little bit more elegant than the 2010. but it has everything you want in a wine.

Alot smoother than the 09 but the taste is more complex. hints of vanilla.

To old for me. kinda fading away but it was great with the food we had!

Very Complex. witch I like. still loving the 95 vintage more than 96..

Very Elegant. not as full bodied as the 2000. Great nose.

Great bottle of wine. elagent, ripeness, complexity was all there with a long finnish

Felt like this was similar to the 08 but was just a little behind the big brother in all the aspects

10/30/2013 - Midde wrote:

lacked a little bit of everything. felt un balanced. but still a good wine to drink now.

Light Color, Medium + body, Long Finnish,
Felt like this is the older brother of the 06.

Had at Stapferstube in Zurich. Dark ruby color. opened up pretty quick from decanter in about 30 min. Spicy with hints of vanilla. long finnish. Good to drink now but can easy be drunk over the next 10 years.

Had at Caduff Wine loft in Zurich. Dark yellow color. full bodied. Really thick, like syrup. Great taste and balance

Had at Caduff Wine Loft in Zurich. Medium body, smell like classic bordeaux.. good balance. good to drink now but could also cellar it for x number of years.

Had at Caduff Wine loft in Zurich. Great bottle of wine.. taste of cocao, coffee, tobacco. still very young even tho its 11 years old. wish i had some in my cellar to drink over the next 20 years..

2/17/2014 - Midde wrote:

good smell. medium color. overall good but no where near any good vintage. opened up fast. decanted for 20-30 min.

Great bottle of wine! go balance. had everything you can expect from a great australien shiraz!

Good value. light color. soft tannins. good balanced wine. good value!

Pretty good napa wine. dark ruby color. notes of cocoa, cassis, and eucalyptus. long finnish.

2/9/2014 - Midde wrote:

light color. smell is still there but i felt like the rest has faded away a little to much to get a higher rating. but for 20 dollars its still not bad.

2/9/2014 - Midde wrote:

Had a few of these now and have rated them at 91 points almost every time. Light color.. medium body. still a little closed up but after a few hours of decanting it opens up. No really hurry to drink all your bottles up.

2/9/2014 - Midde wrote:

Dark color. rich and very full bodied. spice smell. great balance. as good as the regular IX Estate but alot cheaper. Very recommended!

2/7/2014 - Midde wrote:

Didnt think it was as bad as the 80points it has gotten. for 10 dollars a bottle i would buy alot of these. good everyday wine.

Tasted blind. My favorit bottle of the night. Like the cheval blanc 85 it can be drunk now or wait.

2/8/2014 - Midde wrote:

Tasted blind. Very robust and big smell. alot of oak. during the 3 hours we drank it the aromas changed alot... by the end it tasted amazing. great bottle of wine. drink now or wait.

Tasted blind. Magnum, decanted for 2-3 hours.. light color. had everything. Great to drink now.

Good wine to rink now. nothing to cellar for a longer time. i was happy with the bottle and even tho it didnt have the same balance as the other vintages this bottle is good for the money..

Bottle was good but for my taste i want more of the merlot and this vintage has the most cab franc of any of the vcc vintages.

Im gonna let these bottles cellar a few more years before i start drinking them.
