Saturday, January 27, 2007 - Now this was a tremendous surprise in a positive way. Souced from K&L recently and given a 4 hour decant. Although not appreciated in the decanter, once poured into the glass, it displayed a gorgeous floral perfume that I would have pegged as Margaux or Palmer for sure. On the palate, medium weight, medium length, but sweet and seductive for about an hour. Then the perfume wore off and a bit of leather crept in, making the finish slightly dry. I haven't tasted this wine in many years, but this has to be one of the very best showings ever.
