I saw this Parker 100-point rated wine being offered for tasting at the Wine and Dine event last month, so I thought I might give it a try. Maybe it is the expectation of a RP100 wine, but although the wine was nice, it did not have the fireworks that I had come to expect of those perfect score wines. I suppose this is rather like the 1984 Yquem, but then the similarly rated Don PX 1946 could also be said to be disappointing as well.
As for the wine itself, it was purple ruby with a sweet acid fruity nose sporting a hint of meat. The palate was slightly sweet with acid and fruit, with an acid backbone giving good support. Nice wine, but really perfection??
