Saturday, May 5, 2018 - Taste Top Wines for May (San Diego Wine Co.): 100% C.F. from the 67% Weinbau, 21% Ciel du Cheval, 6% Tapteil,
4% Olsen Bros, & 2% Summit View Vyds; Aged 18 mos in 100% FR oak, 20% new, 25% 2nd yr, & 55% 3rd yr barrels, coopered from select forests of Taransaud, Orion, Sylvain, & Vicard; 14.1% ABV, 3.63 pH, & 6.30g/L T.A.; 1,200 cases

N: RIPE, JAMMY, berries, earth, more to give?

P: LM, poss Med, body with AMOST swtish frt met by some tangy astringency which NEVER loses the initial swtness as it transitions into the LONG, balanced finish with a tangy swtness (40:60) to the very, VERY fine tannins. MIGHT improve through '18, then drink for 3+ yrs more. My EXC-. 90 pts enobytes.com & 89 WE @ $30; probably 91 WS & Jeb Dunnuck, though I was unable to verify those. [This vendor's $18.99 is $4 < its closest competitor on wine-searcher's currently limited listings.]
