  Without food: Very earthy. Dirt flavor is prevalent. With cheese: Cherry and fruit came out. Decent acidity. Not sure how this got a WS 90, but don’t love it. For the price though… not bad. I rated it better a couple years ago, so I think I may have let it age too long on this second bottle.

  Great fruit nice touch of structure earthy herbal and cola notes.
  
  Great fun holding onto a value wine in a great vintage. Still has a touch of life. Lives up to the WS rating. Huge over deliver.

  Further to my Note of July 4, '19; this is #2. Better than last time on the nose and palate: more mature fruit, better mouthfeel--assume it's the Merlot in the blend, but the Sangiovese is prominent. I'm more inclined to accept the WS90 now. This bottle was notable+.
