Given the very high ratings given to this wine I was curious to see how I would like it. My experience was not the same as was experienced by members in recent posts. The problem may have been a result of the cork which was bone dry and totally disintegrated as I removed it from the bottle. I purchased all of my bottles at auction and I hope other bottles have much better corks. The wine was not singing for me and seemed very young and closed. Nothing particularly wrong, just not the spectacular experience I was hoping for. I will wait several years before trying another another bottle.

Delicate, light, easy to drink. I would be careful with food pairings as the wine could be overwhelmed.

still very dark. Full bodied and smooth. Excellent dark fruit flavors. Drinking well but may improve further as there are no signs of ageing. I believe the drinking window will extend past 2025.
