Nice to have a Kinsman wine ready to drink after only a few years. The tannins here are sweet and I can’t find any heat at all. It’s all creamy cherries in a baked pie. Incredibly impressive in this price range.
It’s a solid offering for the $140 price tag. It has similar density and length as the regular offerings but maybe just pulled back a little. In a blind line up of all Kinsman Eades Candi doubt I could pick it out.
Amazing wine with upside as the finish softens. Profile in line with other comments and darker profile overall. I believe this is one of the better wines at this price point I have had in recent memory.
My second KE, the first being a 2016 Rhad that I still get fired up thinking about. Need to start ripping some more corks because life's short so why the F not...
95 now with two hour decant, with upside a bit down the road...
Can't add much to the descriptions of the flavor profile found below - I'll mention that I decanted for 2 hours, but I'm not sure it needed it. It's a huge wine, but it's detailed enough not to be overbearing. A delight.
