Saturday, December 19, 2020 - Wow! Aroma: Buttered popcorn. Taste: Mixed berry pie with butter crust and dark chocolate drizzle. The finish is smooth but long lasting and is addictive. Pretty glad I picked up 12 of these.
Started at a 98 and updated the score to 100. The more I think about this it’s one of the best wines I’ve had. Can’t really think of what else I’d look for in a wine. Perfection!

I do think my next favorite is surprisingly the 2014 its doesn’t have this crazy power but drinks the best now. The 2016 will go the absolute distance though and be a truly special wine.
