Every friday after work we tates a few bottles of wine. I recently brought in 2002 and 2003 Worthy. A co worker brought in a 2001 Axios. Worthy and Axios is from the same winery, but worthy is considered the second label and cost about $90 less. Everyone said that the Axios was not worth the difference. I like the Worthy for the price. It is a nice cab. As I said before, I'm no expert. I know what I like and don't like. I can't taste graphite/pencil shavings. I aslo like the Chateau Langoa Barton Saint Julien. I don't think the French reds are robust as the cabs but still enjoy them with some great food.
