91 Points

Saturday, January 15, 2011 - Bordeaux night in San Antonio (Home of David B.): Slightly disappointing in this lineup. Cork stained almost to the top—opened just in time. Decanted several hours prior. Rather shy nose, with a slight medicinal note with some stewed fruit. Somewhat austere palate, strikingly tannic, showing a dried red fruit profile with tobacco leaf with a similar flavor profile on a moderate length finish. Seemed somewhat thin and closed even. Too young? Others liked it more than me.
