Wednesday, February 3, 2021 - This, for once, is a wine that the CT Drink-by info has gotten right. I bought a case of 6 recently and so far two have been clearly on the decline (prune nose and tired palate) and two have been great. This bottle was one of the good ones, with a mature yet vibrant and fresh nose, an excellent palate with plenty of fruit balanced with acidity and still some well integrated tannic back-bone. Yes, I get the comment about the oak being noticeable, but I don't mind it as much as some. I would not buy more of these, nor wait to long to uncork the rest of my bottles.
