90 Points

Saturday, September 2, 2023 - Somewhat disappointing compared to bottles I've had from earlier vintages. Fairly shy nose - mostly plums. Plums dominate on the palate, with notes of assorted berries and a hint of vanilla. Medium body, with decent acidity. Less tannic that previous vintages. Very long, seamless, delicious finish. If this was a $10 to $15 grocery store wine, I'd be buying cases of it. Unfortunately, it set me back $26 (partly because I live in Ohio), and the borderline exceptional finish is the only thing that separates it from everyday grocery store wines. Day two: Nondescript fruit on the palate has morphed into bodacious, mouthfilling fruit, seamlessly leading to a terrific finish that seems to have improved somewhat. Originally scored at 85.
