Thanks for sharing that, really interesting. I only have a very faint memory of drinking this wine but if you set my rating in relation to the price it is obvious that I was not that impressed either, although for different reasons. Did you feel the finish had too much vanilla? If it did no longer, maybe it has receded since last year and revealed some other imbalance? Or you did just have a bad bottle. We might never know. I still have an 05 sitting here, maybe it should be drunk rather soon then? Too many questions.
