94 Points

Tuesday, December 15, 2020 - I don't throw 94 pts around very often... this wine was fantastic... I typically find Bordeaux wines to be just slightly light on fruit and heavy on earth / secondary flavors, but this wine had loads of both, this had a punch, but also held the line -- wasn't fat / opulent, just a lovely rich wine with plenty of savory / secondary nuance... I like elegant wines most of all (which for cabs, I most often find in CA cabs from late 70's thru mid 90's), and this was on the tipping point of being to full bodied, but it made up for that by having loads of beautiful dark fruit alongside savory / spicy elements... sorry, going on and on but on disappointment was when I went to find 6 or 12 more, the current price is 300% of what I paid (which was $120)...nonetheless, if you have some you are in for a treat
