Liked it iniitally more like a 92. Don't remember much it did have medium to full body, and velvety tannins. It had a peculiar finish of milk chocolate or milk though not quiet, definitely a long finish. But as I drank from the bottle the third time (keeping it vaccuvined in the interim) it lost some of its appeal. If I get another bottle I will update but at this time not sure. I didn't realize it was a merlot predominantly and that may have affected my impressions as a I assumed a bordueax blend with primarily cabernet sauvignon and a hint of merlot/petit verdot etc. Per the wine details that I see now, 66% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 1% Petite Verdot.

Started drinking this vintage in 2017. We are on our last of four cases, and it just keeps getting better. Pairing with ribeye and mushroom risotto tonight.

Ah well, add another to the list of Robert Mondavi flops. One of those " why I am wasting my time with this" type of wine experiences.
