I had low expectations for this bottle after reading the public notes. That said, upon first drink I was about to concur with the 87-88 ratings; then after it opened up for a good hour (it was a magnum so we took time) it was very balanced, smooth, not too forward nor too big. I overall quite liked it. For the money ($50 for a magnum) i think terrific. Good combo with a bbq but I actually enjoyed it with my dover sole. I did not detect any thinning, so I'm extending the drinking window to 2012

Drank from magnum and after an hour it opened up and became a really nice bottle of wine. If properly stored, this still has some life left in it.
