Also we had this wine along side with 2 more wine which is Ducru 2000 and Del Forno Romano 1999 and during this 3 day trip we have many more wine such as Palmer 1982, Poderi 1989, Du Pape 1989, Dominus 1995 and this wine is the weakness among all wine we had in our trip so I don't know what you guys want me to rate but base on my personal experience it's no way I could gave this wine more than Ducru 2000 and Del Forno 1999 that I had together within that same meal.

So if you guys don't like it then I just leave a comment and score then, would that make you guys happy now?
