This wine never disappoints. Consistent year-to-year with scores in the mid-90's from just about every critic and for nearly every year. A big nose of plum and earthy spice. Flavors of cherry and plum, mixed with light tannins (taste of leather?) and a structured, but clean and pleasant finish.
I shared this wine with some customers at the Soho House in Hollywood. The price was orbital ($235), but sometimes you have to splurge for the big experience.
You can find the wine at a much more "palatable price" on Wine.com for $139 a bottle.
If you do buy this bottle, lay it down. I am saving one from a friend for a few more years...
$$$/+++
