Some people have birthdays. I have birthfortnights. To get the current fortnight underway I chose this wine from my cellar to go with a grilled steak. This was my first experience with this St. Emilion, and I was not happy with what I found: slightly brownish in color, fairly wan midpalate with mature, stewed fruit character on the finish. It seemed to be both closed and in sharp decline. I have three more bottles, all were purchased second-hand and have been in my cellar just a few years.
Has anyone had better bottles of this recently?
