A very nice and soft rendition of Pauillac, and clearly a cut from the frabric of the king's robe. Charming and fruit froward, yet elegant and somewhat exotic. In the 2018 I pick up that sweet blueberry note that probably comes through from the cleverly timed picking of the fruit that avoids the heaviness that fills many other bottles. Everything about this wine is charming and cute except for the price and the ugly label. On one hand you have an artist commissioned label commemorating each vintage, and on the other, you have...red grapes. This can hold for at least 15 years or more but very pretty to drink as it is. Drink or Hold

Drank w Dana on Thursday eve on our Indian food night; decanted and took an immediate taste; super tight and lots of tannins; about thirty minutes later it became silkier with hints of berries and dark jams starting to peak through; rich finish started to really show its colors towards the end; nice bottle that is enjoyable now and worth the price.

Leave the wine alone for 5 years and it will be amazing, today is great although it does not deserve a medal because of bad qpr BUT in 5-8 years it will get a silver medal if not the gold.
