4/22/2014 - nmachen wrote: 92 pointsAerated & decanted for about an hour. Excellent with steak. Even better about an hour after dinner with dark chocolate brownies. Fairly typical of a Ty wine - big, bold and fruity. A bit more spice than some past Ty offerings, but very well balanced and very smooth. Highly recommended. |
