I was surprised. Was on my “ready to drink list” and like another, 3 years late. This wine is delish right now. Was hit with blackberry candy on the nose. Lush currants in the mouth with anise, leather and chalk. Very well integrated. Lots of fruit, lush, dark, rich. The finish was short and not super complex or would have given a higher score. Drink up!

It needs a little air time but after 30 mins this becomes a very drinkable wine displaying above average balance in this price range. Recommended qpr and perfect with hearty food.

I'm happy I was patient with this vintage - when I tried one in 2016 i thought it might develop and went well past the 2017 recommended drink up date - it's drinking well and on the nose when first opened would have had me guessing cab before it develops a more earthy tone reminiscent of a rhone style....great value and happy I have a few more.

This was very good. We drank 3 years past drinking dates and it was delicious, very smooth finish.
