Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 92 points
April 9, 2024 - Talked out of the 2006 by the somm, now wish I had gone for it seeing other comments. But this was very nice, a bit closed at first but after 30-60
Min in decanter and glass it really opened up nicely. A bit reticent, a bit rustic, but balanced and integrated. Put on some weight with time and was a good accompaniment with steak. This was a case where the wine enhanced the food but wasn’t the star (rather than vice versa)1 person found this helpful Comments (5) -

April 27, 2019 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (T&L's): Double blind. Coffee and black currant, cassis and chocolate aromas. Full-bodied. Cassis, currant and plum flavors with a good bit of oak spice as well. A little on the ripe side, also a bit rustic. Guessed cab sauv.
