3/9/2023 - mellison Does not like this wine: 91 Points
I rarely write reviews because I do not have the writing skills or the tasting acume to detect all the different flavors and describe them in intimate detail. However I can distinguish good wines from bad and all those along the spectrum. This wine was acquired direct from the winery and stored in perfect conditions. Despite the professional reviews at 96 + this is not a particularly memorable or even good wine let alone great. It tastes green like it was made from unripe grapes and has no character or anything memorable about it and even has a bitter component after sitting in the glass for like two hours. Just a HUGE disappointment. Happy I did not give as a gift!!

When first tasted this after opening was rather disappointed. Tasted more like a thin Pinot Noir then a Bordeaux.. As it opened up it began to express the typical Bordeaux tastes. However, if this bottle is any indication, it is time to drink this up as the fruit has begun to disappear.

This turned out to be quite the disappointment. There was no there there. Kind of flat, no character, flat on the palate with a little taste of green and unripe. No finish at all just kind of a slightly bitter aftertaste. Perfect storage conditions from winery to climate controlled storage.
