Give this a couple more years in the bottle or a very long decant. Nothing special on day 1, and really just kind of disjointed right out of the bottle. But with some cheese it came alive, so I thought "hey maybe there's something here". Recorked and put it back in the fridge overnight. Developed very well for a good showing on day 2. Went well with that cheddar again and then a couple of filets. Plan ahead and you'll be rewarded, IMO, and a much better wine with food than on its own. 92+.

Gave it a long decant of 5 hours in prep for a milestone birthday and it didn't disappoint. Truly amazing.

Had 6 of these. Easy to drink and big enough to take on a serious steak.
All are gone and I am sad. These were wonderful...
