90 Points
Sunday, September 22, 2019 - First time trying this wine. Bought the bottle 6 years ago and it’s been sitting in our cellar. Brief decant. Not much on the nose, even after some coaxing. Some red fruit on the palate, but straightforward and not very sophisticated. I’m disappointed having paid $90 for this, and letting this age for 10 years. Tastes more like a $30 wine. What am I missing here?
