  As I looked back at my note from 3 years ago, I thought more about screwcaps and better wines like this. There was no evolution of this wine. It was still pretty one-dimensional. The fruit was correct but still youthful, but not in the best way. At 10 years--and a legitimate 10 years since the harvest in WA would have been this time of year!--there should be at least some tertiary notes, but there weren't. The wine poured almost purple into the glasses, and that's not necessarily what I want from a high-midrange Bordeaux blend at this stage of its development. Two more bottles in my stash, so I'll give them more time, but I'm beginning to believe that screwcaps shouldn't be used on ageworthy wines. As I've said before, I like a soft pillow when I go to sleep. Why shouldn't a good wine have the same?

  Violets so apparent in the early nose. Absolutely lovely texture and integration of oak. You can tell some of the flavors come from the oak, but it's not sweet or exceptionally spicy. Something in the fruit affects the oak as much as the oak affects the wine. Guess that's why Grands Crus are Grands Crus. Looking forward to more evolved pleasures as my remaining bottles age.

  Perfect with fish meuniere. Really zippy acidity to complement the buttery goodness of the sauce.
