Second time with this wine, first time was blind and I scored it 96 today it was tasted not blind and decanted 1 hour instead of 4 or so last time. It did not rocked at all. Towards the medium to light body and somewhat flat. I did enjoyed it hence the 92 points but frankly I was a little dissapointed. It is not the hedonistic beast some of us wish for, it is delicious but restrained. Felt like the 6 cylinder Mustang instead of the V8. I have many more at the cellar and while I do not think they are meant for many years of cellaring, I hope that in 3 or so years they would be better. This bottle will never achieve medals, but it is a very well made wine. Maybe I was expecting more from VHR, like a baby VHR and it is not.

Tasted blind with other wines from the mid 2000s. After tasting this wine many times this was my last bottle and definitely the worst experience. This hedonistic bombastic wines are ment to be consumed early, this are not Bordeaux and with a few years are definitely ready. The wine extremely boring and with lots of that burnt rubber tire smell that I dislike. This wine with 5 years of cellar time had enough, but almost 20 years is just way too much

Pnp . Masive purple hedonistic powerful wine. Excellent match for a ribeye with lots of fat . Incredible for dark chocolate pairing. Bordeaux drinkers look elsewhere, this is not your style. This is a Corvette, not Bentley. LOVE this wine
