  Not worth the price I paid, but no doubt it is a good wine. Needs years before showing its true quality!

  Way too young, no amount of decant can solve this. Never rounded out at all, kept the stringent mid palate, and abrupt finish. Had the gravel, tar, bacon fat known for this wine. This needs a decade or more. Not sure it will hit the heights of other past vintages.

  Opened for 3 hours. Color is deep garnet/purple. On the nose: Sour cherry funk, pepper, cassis and iron. On the palate: Intense sour cherry , blackberry with loads of barnyard funk, cassis, plum, dark chocolate, olive and pepper. This is long and rich. It is big but not jammy. It’s somewhere between The Northern Rhone and Australia is taste to me. It’s been many years since I’ve had a Bionic Frog. This is extremely tasty. Some may not enjoy the funk factor this brings but I do. I also like anything that is pickled so that might be why.

  La Tâche Dinner (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Really? Extreme beyond what I could enjoy. I found this repulsive and undrinkable in the context of the great Old World wines enjoyed tonight. One dimensional at best, and that is not a particularly interesting dimension.

  Ripe cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, loads of iodine which is so common in every Bionic Frog I’ve had, ham, bacon, cedar, spice box, silky profile and long finish. Really nice and drinks well young. I’d give it a couple hours to breath or the Iodine is a bit off balance, with air this mellowed quite a bit.
