@David L @Carl Fischer @Ron R @Joe Lucca @Kirk Alexander Christine & I had dinner with my buddy Kirk and his beatific wife Veronica. I uncorked this one since it had been such a reliable pour the last time I opened it. However, in New York it had disappointed all of us. I am back to being disappointed. This is the type of bottle that you have to open by itself and not showcase it against any other as it will swiftly retreat into the shadows. Light on the palate, super short finish. This bottle came in dead last tonight. I can't believe the other that I opened impressed me that much that night. I don't do this often but I will knock it down to an 8.9.

@Carl Fischer @Ron R @David A Lentine I must have opened a bad bottle in New York. If you guys remember, we tasted it and literally threw it away. Decanted this for two hours and it is absolutely blowing up! Firing on all cylinders. Full-bodied, flowers spice and everything that's nice! LOL. For the life of me, I feel as if I almost get a little forest floor out of it. Truly amazing wine.!! 😍🍷🍷😍.
Carl, you and I distinctively hated this when we uncorked it in New York. You would not even recognize this bottle! It's amazing! Have a great Thanksgiving my friends!
