97 Points

Monday, May 12, 2014 - Being a Bordeaux junkie, this was my first serious Cdp. The wine came out of the bottle like a genie from a lamp, exuding horse shit wrapped in sweet potpourri. The secondary notes delivered soft supple sweetness, followed by earth and cow paddy pie, with a floral rose pedal, super dry grip that did not let go for nearly a minute. All I could think of was WOW! Where has this sexy little thing been all my life?

I would have scored higher, but the second glass did not have the same sex appeal. It came across as a bit more thick, and fleshy. My only concern about this wine is that it lacks clarity. It looks so oxygen deprived that it inhales so much, so fast, forming tiny micro bubbles, releasing allot of that mule like stubbornness that makes it so damn sexy, chase worthy, and fine. It becomes very fleshy and glucose heavy. Almost as if it is filled with un-converted sugar. Perhaps its way too young and needs time. But I have ordered more bottles, so we shall see...
