90 Points

Wednesday, August 3, 2022 - So this was very good with a decant, the small addition of Carmenere adds upfront green notes, which complement the dark loamy soil and rich, juicy black fruits, thus adding complexity. After 30 minutes in the decanter, this was singing. Lots of ripe fruits, but the subtle underlying structure keeps this from being a complete “fruit bomb”. Most will enjoy the “Robert Parker” style, but it’s a bit too much for what I gravitate toward. Still in development, might have some upside potential.

I purchased two bottles of this through NakedWines at $32 USD per bottle as part of a mixed case for summer vacation. I have bottles at home purchased from the Lastbottle, which were procured at $25 USD back in early 2022… I know the NakedWines crowd is rabid about the “great pricing and quality” of their products, but a site to site comparison on the exact same “distribution” product is hard to ignore…just sayin…
