Relatively light in color, not much brick, mostly red rather than purple. Rather closed on the nose to me. More acidic than other S-l-B’s I have tasted, resulting a very linear fruit flavor verging on tart cherries. I enjoy this 2002 more than last year’s releases from Robert Ampeau. It is pretty one-dimensional, but I am discovering that I have a pretty simple palate…

Like undressing a girl after waiting and waiting, only to find you were deceived by a push-up bra and some Spanx. Why hold back and build it up only to disappoint?
1er cru my ass. Both bottles I opened lacked harmony, power, complexity, or any other redeeming feature. Basically tasteless???
I gifted my other bottles to Leroy, the kind homeless man who sleeps on my corner most nights when he doesn't go shower at a hotel.
