Sunday, March 13, 2016 - I did not consult CT before pulling this bottle, as part of a plan to clear overaged deadwood from the cellar. I'll not make that mistake again. I would have carried it more gingerly from the cellar had I known I was holding a fully armed elegance bomb. It was glorious straight from the bottle. Fully mature, fully integrated, soft dark fruity flavors and a structural backbone that would suggest Pauillac but no graphite. Not for the fruit bomb lover, but a thrill for the older Bordeaux fan.
