I had one bottle of this wine a month ago, and another bottle about a week ago.  There was significant bottle variation between the 2 samples.  The first tasting demonstrated good fruit and tell-tale St. Julien aromas.  The second bottle tasted flat, and much of the fruit was gone.  I suspect that the 2nd bottle may have been heat or light damaged over it's 10 year lifespan, but, of course, I can not completley rule out the possiblitly that the problem occurred at the time of bottling.

First bottle 3.75 stars:// 2nd bottle barely 3 stars.
