Drinking my last bottle - given that the first O opened was corked (some months ago) didn't want to hold on to this too long. This might be the best bottle of the bunch of four. Nice acid backbone (good thing because tannins are gone), black and purple fruit, with a slightly cooked, but not unpleasantly so, quality, minerality - slate, charcoal, medium in body with a fairly short finish.

P: Almost swtish frt upfront (approaching threshold R.S.?) with a LONG, very slightly tannic finish. Decent, but drink up! 14.7% ABV. 88+ pts RJonWine. [Tasted @ $29.99, but as of mid-July 2018 apparently no longer available anywhere?]
