A couple of additional thoughts from my pov:

I'm not rating this wine bc it was a little closed. The nose was spectacular, but the palate and finish died quickly. It's not that the wine was disjointed, it just wasn't in the right place. If the wine lives up to its nose of wood, mushroom and overall sous bois (thanks Eric ;-)), it will be a 100 point wine when it is ready to go.
