First of all, too young. Explosive, spicy, chocolate, lilac, cassis and definitely on the Purp side of what I enjoy. Still a balancing acidity and formidable tannins that sneak up on you like a Barolo and end up hitting you square in the face and saying "don't you dare, you smug SOB". This is going to be my favorite wine in a decade or two and I'm going to wish I bought more. — 10 years ago
Great color, like 20yrs younger. 1st nose was like red meat. After 4-5hr decant the fruit came out and had a nice tart cherry black currant bite. Somewhat austere but still a great example of older well kept BDX. Not for everybody, but for me very enjoyable. Awesome grip for over 40years old. Dare I say almost young. Great stuff. — 10 years ago
Seriously Total Wine, how dare you gouge people on this wine! If you think Merlot doesn't have "umph," you NEED this wine! Oh yeah, I sell it for $16.99, not $25. — 11 years ago

Great with chipotle rubbed pork and peppers, decanted an hour but really hit its stride after about 90 min. — 12 years ago
Deep red, almost purple with big blue/black fruit aromas and zesty floral spice. The palate is full of fresh fruit, blueberry and blackberry with sweet cinnamon flavors. Firm but approachable tannins for this full body wine that lingered with a racy edge. Great value at $20 that may possibly keep in the cellar for a few years of you dare. — 10 years ago
Very good moscato for the price! — 10 years ago
