I know wine preferences are subjective, but I found this to be super disappointing. Perhaps my expectations were too high, perhaps it was an off bottle, maybe I opened it too soon, or perhaps Saturn wasn’t aligned with Venus - who knows - but I’ve had prior vintages that blew me away but not this one (which everyone seems to love?). Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, just not sing it from the mountain top good to me.

Deeply concentrated. However, at this price point, I was looking for more.

Just picked up from FedEx on the way home tonight, couldn’t wait till tomorrow,
Pulled the cork on the 12,13 & 14 all off the truck so why break tradition, great nose.
Bigger than the 14 which was a disappointment compared to the 12 & 13.
This could easily pull a 96-99 from parker.@David T you’re going to love this in 10 years when you try it, keep your review under 1,000 words please.
2014 was only a 95 pointer
