6/18/2023 - tanzanite Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank with friends for Father's Day 6/18. In a perfect place. Great fruit and tannins. Long finish. Paired with lamb. Will hold onto last bottle for 3-5 years. Will wait to open the 2005 Chateau Palmer. |

10/9/2022 - tanzanite Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery good wine after 11 years. Pomegranate, strawberry, spices on palate. Acid and tannins are still there. Glad I have 2 more bottles. Will probably open next one in 6 months. |
