November 11, 2017 - This wine was beautiful! From double magnum. Just exquisite. Very fine tannins. Wonderful fruit and aromas.
June 25, 2014 - Gross
May 13, 2010 - Really impressed. Well balanced and full of fruit. Long lasting finish. Very surprised however all of my 98's seem to be aging better than the 97's.
February 6, 2010 - Very bitter taste.
August 10, 2009 - I guess the second bottle was better. Still very flat, but there is some red berry fruit in the front of the taste, but the middle and finish are muddled and bland. It improved as the bottle rested. Another note - both corks failed as they were removed. I do not remember the cork from the first bottle (but it was in my tasting notes from the night). This cork broke half way through, but there was no signs of leakage. Just odd that two out of two bottles had corks that failed.
November 30, 2008 - Wine did not age well at all.
November 24, 2006 - last time I taste this wine 2.5 years ago it was green, green green. I did not expect much today- threw it in a decanter for around 2 hours- not bad, some nice raspberry, punes, and some heat. no green left- fairly smooth- some acid, no tannins- not bad, not grat but much better than last time.
