After 2 ok and 1 horribly corked bottles I am opening another one and to be honest, it is just ok. This is not a cheap wine and my expectations are high. Not as good as the previous bottles I have had a few years ago and in my opinion on the way down. Overall a poor QPR.

Much better than the first bottle I had a while ago. Will store the remaining bottles for a few more years. Much smoother now and very enjoyable

The 2010 is supposed to a phenomenal year and this wine has sky high ratings. Initially I was disappointed and then decided to decant the wine which brought a marked improvement. Honestly it might have been best when I tasted it again the following day. Typical black berries, vanilla and oak. A lovely wine where I will cellar my remaining bottles for quite a few more years ... this wine should improve over time

2010 vintage. Lovely but a bit thin for what I am accustomed to from CH. well made - just not enough “Astralis” in this.

Big and opulent with lots of jammy fruit but it is not overdone. Balancing acidity. This is quite good!!!
