I've now had two bottles of this wine, one today and one about 6 months ago. Robert Parker rated it a 96. But here's what I don't get. To me, it tastes so young, unformed, and dumb, I don't understand how anybody could give it any rating whatsoever at this point. It's hard, unforgiving, unyielding, tight, and tannic. Imagine a wine glass filled with a hammer (in liquid form). Frankly, neither bottle has been pleasurable. I have no idea how this will develop, if at all. I'm going to leave the last 2 bottles for 2020 (if I am blessed enough to still be around at that point). I guess I'll have to wait until then to see how talented and prescient the master is. 'Cause right now, all I know is that I am just not psychic enough to say a damn thing about how it may or may not develop.
