A big disappointment. The '09 is excellent but this bottle falls flat. Suspect this is simply a bad vintage. Don't hold onto this as I don't expect it to improve.

I'd have to assume there are some bad bottles out in distribution, as the notes I've read hardly describe our experience with this wine, which was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful texture and fruit, a woodsy nose that was not offensively filled with cedar or oak notes, just rounded and developed. Finish is perfectly clean. Great bottle.

Don't know if this is just an off bottle as I have had 07 and 08 vintages at the winery. This 06 lacked the fruit and structure of the more recent vintages. It was slightly improved on day 2 to justify the score. On day 1 would have given it 88.

Average wine at best. Expected a much more memorable experience at this price-point.

Not good even after a couple hours in the air. Slightly smoother with food. Definitely would avoid in the future.
