Well, it seems as though this might be in a rather steady decline. Still very good with a bit of fruit and some vibrant acidity. Notes of lemon and a bit of vanilla and a medium finish.

Retail ~$35. I paid $22 at the PLCB. Tasted 2/15/12. Over the last few years we have had a total of three of these and it seems as though the wine has reached its peak and is now declining. After previously rating this 90 (8/2010) and 92 (6/2007) points, I give this bottle 89 points. Sure, my tastes could have changed, I could have become more critical with age, or I could just be full of crap, but I feel as though this one has slipped a bit over the last few years (but, then, haven’t we all?). Still very good with a bit of fruit and some vibrant acidity. Notes of lemon and a bit of vanilla and a medium finish.

Surprisingly this is still drinking well but would not have the confidence to hold off much longer.

Green apple, crisp, balanced, slightest touch of vanilla, 12 years young!
