My experience with another vintage was not lucky at all. And since the shop didn't agree to replace the bottle, I stayed with my bad experience. We decided to give this vintage a try because we got a bottle for an attractive price (~$32 instead of $76). And even with the lower price, I think this wine is overpriced. Nevertheless, good experience at last. Attractive bouquet of ripe cherry, graphite, and red flowers. Ripe profile, well-balanced, good acidity, tannin is still rough a bit but well-integrated. Long and warm aftertaste. A bit heavy, and it's hard to drink the whole bottle.
