I had it blind and dislike it from the start, the nose is weak, mid palate is tart and shy, the body is medium and low in fruit and tannin. The finish is short. In other words, this is a classic example of a poorly made wine from a very challenging vintage.

Cherry to the rim. Moderate fruit improved over two hours. Medium to full with a sort finish. Not quite ready but worried that the fruit will not outlast the tannins. Probably best over the next year with a steak to tame the tannins that still linger

A perfect wine. Still going strong. Whoever said that it was past peak is not correct.

Fantastic bottle. Still drinking well. Appears to be hitting its stride.

Least favorite of Poetry years so far, not worth the money
