9.2

It’s a big wine requiring a two hour decant and then offering a well made wine with bell pepper, black pepper, red currants, earth and forest floor. A medium finish but enjoyed with pizza on a Wednesday evening! — 2 days ago

9.1

Young, with notes of black olives, tobacco and leather. The merlot does not seem especially well integrated. Finish and length of the wine is excellent and quite velvety. Perhaps more time would help — 20 days ago

Some slight Brett on the nose but still very drinkable. This was much better put together than the 88 — a month ago

Every so often a wine surprises. Opened for a Monday lunch of Lamb Ravi pasta with 45 minutes of air and through an aerator this wine was enormously pleasing! Notes of green and black olives, rose petals, dried leaves, forest floor, with a beautiful balance and finish it blew away my expectations! Maybe I need more Monday lunches with wine in my life! — 17 days ago

After about 45 minutes the funk did blow off leaving amazing aromas of Asian spice and forest floor, with a slightly olive finish. Terrific balance and clearly the tannic spine so characteristic of the 61 vintage has allowed this wine to age gracefully — a month ago
