93 Points
Tuesday, January 30, 2018 - Tasted over two days. It actually showed beautifully upon opening and for several hours thereafter, with elegant fruit backed by highly appealing terroir elements. Toward the end of the evening a slightly bitter twang came forward, similar to galvanized metal. Also noticed what came off as slightly unbalanced acidity. Had it at 94 points before this. Red fruited and open knit on the second day, quite appealing, though the angular acidity was more pronounced. It might be in a phase, but I have scored it 93 points three times over two+ years. Recommend drinking by 2025.

Appreciate the info

The bitters element and unbalanced acidity might be mitigated by slower development. Should you choose to open one I recommend at least a two hour decant. I am interested to know your thoughts.
