Bought at Costco. Opened early against suggested drinking window. Does not in any way exhibit St Estephe characteristics. Far more fruit forward, much more closely resembles right bank than left (tasted blind, I'd assume this was a merlot-based right bank for sure). Not bad per se, just not reflective of the style of StE. Would not buy again.

Past its prime. Stewed fruits. Off-putting.

Very fruit forward, overpoweringly so.
Was hoping for more earthy qualities, but not even close.
