June 14, 2017 - I picked this up on a whim at TotalWine - winery direct, WS 92, about $35. I need to check the CT app before I buy wines. The ratings here reflect many palates and individual bottles. Expecting a 92, I was disappointed. 30 minutes open in the bottle then Venturi. Delicate nose of graphite and dark fruit. Garnet in color, medium body, slippery legs in the glass. Bold tannins dominate the palate at first, followed by dark cherries, plums and some cassis. Very short finish with little character. The tannins were more soft and integrated the second day, but flavors were still austere. I had a nice case of '89 Labegorce-Zede - too bad this wasn't similar. It might fare better with a very long decant.

May 30, 2017 - Plums, cherry, leather and graphitte for a fruitful piece, attacking with some roughness, yet almost light, always enjoyable and pleasant , showing sweet cherry and tobacco finish, leaving a good overall impression. 89
