  • After initially coming up a bit light this put on quite a bit of weight after being open an hours or so. Plums on the nose. A bit stewed with a touch of brett. Lots of tannin still. Generous acids. Shows some warmth even though it's listed at a mere 13%. As I mentioned, picks up plenty of palate weight with air. Over night the brett takes a bigger part. Not too distracting for me but it's certainly in the room. While this is still going strong its never real complex. A very good wine if somewhat straight down the line. Enjoyed.

  • Smooth right out if the bottle, complexity appears simple at first ️but develops soon afterwards. Acidity is mild. Bony turbid, the fruit is deep
    I would easily pay over $120 at a restaurant.
    What a pleasure to drink!!!!!!!
