What a great wine! This is in the perfect spot. Fruit and acid and oak makes this wine my WOTY! Unreal length. Makes me want to hang in the hot tub with some blondes and really party. Sucklings scarf gets tighter ever time one of these corks gets popped. I’d go a hundo on this but people who chase points… well… they are socialists.

I dont get why anyone, esp James Suckels, would rate this wine of the millennium or whatever. He was never a good taster like Rudy K, but I digress. This wine is overblown. I dislike the VA, but can appreciate the dark core of this monster. I want more terroir I want more soul give me more verve. I suspect a lot of confirmation bias on the whole 100point scale thing as more people pop bottles
Edit: Day 2, one glass left over in the bottle. Even worse! Wine meet drain. Not sure how anyone can like this wine. I got lots of hate mail for this note, score, and suggestions abound of me having a flawed bottle. What happens if others just have flawed palates?
