September 13, 2016 - Wow, what a vibrant wine. This is head and shoulders above a Rhys Horseshoe from the same vintage I had earlier in the night. Bright acidity, with a lovely floral character reminiscent of a Cote Rotie, with some serious structure and tannins on the back end. I was worried this might be over the hill but this is still on the upslope of its growth. First Tercero I have had in many years, but this reminds me that these are well-made wines that fly under the radar.
