Upon opening the color is still young and the flavor profile is on the acidic side. Really didn't want to open but needed to gauge where it was. Dense and flavorful in a classic Bordeaux way. Will be so interesting to see how it develops.
After an hour it really began to soften in a good way. I'm thinking 2-4 years before opening the next one.

Was a big lover of this winery a few years ago and before but sadly they've jumped the shark. Takeover? Embracing tourist culture? This is mediocre residual sugar wine. @14 per at Costco it's silly. Pretty much criminal. Sad. sad. sad. Just generic wine. Bye bye. Never again.
