Tasted at the Chateau
Medium Ruby
Medium + intensity with aromas of black fruit (Blackcurrants, Blackberries, Black plums & cherries. Beautiful integrated oak with flavors of cedar, vanilla, leather & licorice. Still fruit driven in a very balanced way.
On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity and tannins ( integrated and not too tough), high alcohol and full body (although in an elegant way. The intensity is medium + and the finish is long.
The quality is outstanding and will age beautifully. Now there are almost no signs of tertiary flavors.

This is sooo good right now but will get MUCH MUCH better in the future with some more time in the bottle. Decanted 6 hours but this baby needs 5 years or more to begin its adulthood. I would like to think based on the structure and masive tanins that this wine will be a candidate for almost perfect scores 10-15 years from today. Have 12 more bottles and will wait a few years to open the next one. NOT READY although extremely delicious

This will absolutely live up to the critical reviews. The question is will you be able to keep your hands off it for 10 years?

Yummy good. Worth $150? Maybe! I mean, in my mind, very few wines are worth $150... but this wine is exceptional. If you've got $150 laying around and can't figure out a better use for it... you could do a lot worse.
