Friday, May 8, 2020 - Roundly disappointing. Drunk over two nights... while it shows fine tannin and some red fruit, there is a real lack of power. Now there is nothing wrong with finesse, but I have to question the value here... will I see myself drinking this in 2030 and rejoicing that I only paid $110? I don’t see that occurring.... there are other wines from the vintage that will develop and show more in the years ahead.
