P: MF body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish oak/frt adequately balanced by acidity which transitions into a LONG (albeit very, VERY slightly faint), pleasant finish. For now & into at least mid Summer '18. Another GREAT QPR in the style (yet different from the previous wine in the flight), given this vendor's (close out?) $14.99 is $3 < than one listed wine-searcher source, & $12 < than the other! 89 pts WE @ $35.

P: Med, poss MF, body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish oak/frt [~55:45] nicely balanced by acidity, this sense of balance extending through the very LONG, beautifully balanced, almost swtish finish. For now & POSS through '18 as an aperitif, or poss as accompaniment to cream sauced entrees? VERY well done for the style & price pt, this vendor's $14.99, I suspect, being some sort of a close-out. 89 pts WE
