Acker Merrall Pre-Auction Tasting (Le Cirque - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. Actually tasted twice, once shortly after opened, then again 90 minutes later. Red fruit with good spice aromas, subdued flavors to start. Second tasting was still just as fresh, but showing more fruit concentration, more spice and greater concentration. 91 points at that latter point.

Beautiful wine, graceful from the opening notes to the end, but hints at drying out, excessively earthy and lacks vitality... a very good but not a great wine.

Bottle not intact, likely a storage issue.
