88 Points

Monday, June 26, 2006 - Generally agree with Psmith's assessment. Color is very nice and in fact brilliant. Nose still fairly youthful(no oxidation or "old bordeaux" smells at all) of berries with some wood toast. Elegant leaner styled wine, the main flaw of which is a slightly bitter finish. Seems to be a green tannin problem, but it goes away with food, as usual. Given the apparent youth of the wine and the good acid structure, I am going to wait awhile and see what the next one brings. This bottle had a mid shoulder fill.
