This is way too soon to be opening this wine, but it is a delicious crime. Tons of red fruit but also a mineral, tobacco and cedar underpinning that is unquestionably Bordeaux. For those who thought this wine was too "international" I say try again. I thought it was not going to be to my taste (being the old world palate that I am) , but I love it and just want to give my remaining bottles a good 10 years of cellar time. This has all the goods to be monumental wine at maturity.
