Maybe I’m missing the point; but I didn’t understand the hype on this wine. Landed flat for me. Good balance but otherwise nothing particularly notable or distinctive.

Good, drinkable. Subtle, but not particularly complex. 92% cab sauv, very mellow tannin. Baking spicies, cedar, leather. Not particularly inspiring, but solid bottle. 92 points.

Soft decant for 2 hours. Hate with dinner alongside homemade dry aged NY Strips, potatoes and salad.
Complex, well balance wine with notes of leather, tobacco and cassis. A baby Opus One. Wonderful wine at an excellent price point.
