PNP. This was very good but I didn't love it. The alcohol overwhelms what does appear to be a complex wine underneath. Didn't really improve much as the hours went by.

I have had previous bottles of 2006 and prior vintages of this wine and have loved them all even though they are "bigger." However, this bottle was completely disjointed. All oak and alcohol. Disappointing bottle, but due to my past experiences I would buy again hoping this was an off bottle.

Pretty delicious. I think it has about 4-5 years left.
