PnP. Beautiful. Flowery perfume, with just a hint of earthiness on the nose. On the palate, it's a little clipped on the finish at present, which keeps my score down.

Thanks for the heads up on the '09 Croix Figeac. The WX site indicates they still have some. Also, I see a few other wines of interest. Haven't had contact with them for years, but shall give them a ring.
I went to the U of M for a short period, a long while back, when they had good football.
Have a Merry Holiday,

Stunning. No detailed notes. Aromatic nose. Stylistically medium bodied. Not gamey. Slight but not distracting sweetness.

I don't comment on many wines anymore, but this one warranted it. Beautiful PnP. Aromas? Yep. Resolution on the palate? Mostly.
For a 10-15 year old cab that was likely a tight version of a fruit bomb back when it was released, this is showing a great deal of elegance.
With more time in the glass, it does tighten up a bit. So, cellar for a few years, or vigorously decant. My two cents.
