A completely different bottle from the one we tasted at the winery! Gone was the underripe vegetal flavor, replaced by ripe syrupy sweet dried fruit. I preferred this much more when chilled, so be sure to drink this one at cellar temp or close to it.
Me - 92, wife - 93/94.

Nice purple garnet color. Plenty of upfront fruit showing juicy blackberry and fig. Made in a drink early style, with soft round accessible tannins. Rich enough to need food. The oak shows up in the weight and a touch of syrupy sweetness. Holds up well to spice dishes. A bit tiring to the palate.

Deep dark color. Full throttle black and blue fruit. Hedonistic wine, does what it sets out to do. Very tasty and layered.

PnP at a BBQ. Dark Fruit and Oak manifesting as toasted Vanilla for days, Just a very tasty bottle of wine.
