Did not enjoy this bottle. Too tanic and the leather note just killed it for me. I have one more bottle and will try it again, just in case the first bottle was just bad.

Not great, very thin and no definable finish. Drank like a cheap Pinot.

Decanted for 4 hours on the off chance that a good decant would help. Nose is actually very nice. Bright fruit and some forest notes. The taste is unsatisfying. Very weak and this. A bit sour even. Ready to be dumped out.

Damn you Wilfred Wong! Once again a 5 cent BevMo wine that is not worth what you pay for it. Thin taste and poor nose.

Very young Bordeaux. Initial nose was earth and barn scents. Funky. Decanted for a few hours, scent was still there not as strong. Taste was earthy with mushroom and granite. Some heat on the back end. Not bad, not too good. May get better with bottle age, but I doubt it. Had a 2nd glass on day 2. It was not good. Poured 3/4 of the bottle down the drain.
