Good wine, but not for the price, it is absolutely shocking how much Mr. Springer sells this wine for. There are far better wines from Bordeaux at this price level or sometimes cheaper. I would not buy this wine, there are far better choices on the market. For example from the same year you can get 3 bottles of Famiglia Bianchi Cab Sauv, which to me scored 90 points.
