92 Points

Friday, September 18, 2015 - Man, what a nice bottle. Loads of cool climate black fruit, smoked meat, black olive and mineral. The tannin is starting to integrate and the acidity is medium++. Medium body with a long finish. This was great on the pnp by itself and excellent with grilled food as well. I thought it seemed surprisingly young, but seemed to have wonderful potential. After not buying this year, I may need to re-think that decision. A solid 92+ and a great value. Edit: 24 hrs later, this may be better. Smooth, full of restrained fruit and very balanced, this is a winner!
