I was expecting something on the decline, but this is drinking just fine. Nice ruby color—felt slightly out of balance on day one—(first fruit, then savory notes) but they were more integrated on day two. I’m interested to see what the next bottle is like. 87 on day one, 89 day two.

I really like this wine. It’s my primary cellar defender. Soft, mature, dusty, and savory. Some bottles taste older than others, so I think it’s making the turn. Drink now.
