@P. Robert

Picked some of these up at the local Costco, couldnt help myself before they went into the cellar.

Dark and viscous in the glass. Can smell the juice from across the kitchen. Restrained on the palate, not over oaked. Delicious blueberries and rasberries and chock full of fruit. So young and vibrant and a well made bordeaux. The rest can go to sleepfor a while but this was yummy

Thanks for the note Phil, I’ve got a bunch of these and was wondering if I should drink one. Guess I’ll wait a while.

Phil, I just have to say, this note is rather interesting…

We have ‘yummy’, ‘pretty’, and all kinds of berry goodness.

I’m jus’ sayin’

I’ll kill one of Zach’s that I am holding and will report back.

An excellent option

Have these dropped in price lately @ Costco? They were a little over $100 about 6 months ago.

[Bill_Tex_Landreth]

$110 a bottle…I think.

Thanks for the note/data point. I’m expecting great things from this wine for years to come.

Philip - sounds like you think Parker might have under rated it based on your description?

As I’ve stated several times, I haven’t had ANY 05 BDX that hasn’t outperformed my expectations.
