My last bottle adn I'm glad I popped it when we did. Though previous notes said more time available - maybe it was bottle variation but this wine started to take on that of an older bordeaux. Really great nose of earth - poopie lingered for about 20 minutes and then the muttled fruit started to show. The fruit never popped as the tobacco and cigar fragrance and taste (that's what I attribute to starting to taste like an older bordeaux) was forefront. I think many people would love this wine for where it is now - "older bordeaux but not super old" - for me - I like the lesser tobacco/cigar notes. However, it had a great structure, front mid and end and a long finish.

I like this wine. super racy - lots of minerality - high acid. scent of strawberry with a refreshing mouthfeel. Fairly dry.
