Saturday, April 14, 2007 - Boxed In at Craig's (DRC, Leroy, Dugat-Py, Rousseau, Dujac, Kistler, d'Yquem and others): I brought this by mistake (meant to grab the Clos St. Denis). This bottle showed similar to our bottle a few months ago, except this seemed a little less evolved. The nose is a brooding blend of dark fruit, smoke, and mineral. This is a medium weight wine with excellent balance. On the palate this remains brooding and structured. You can tell there is plenty of black cherry and other flavors present, but they are not fully expressive at the moment. The finish is very long. I'd hold off on opening any more of these for awhile.
