P: MF, poss Med, body; ALMOST swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which largely works itself out by the fairly LONG, VERY slightly spicy/astringent finish. Likely approachable now with food, another 6 mos or so SHOULD improve it for drinking through '20 min. VERY nicely made, though the "regular" $25 or even the tasting "special" $20.50 don't REMOTELY compare to the $14.99 on 4/1/17! :( Silver @ ’17 S.F. Chronicle. [As of mid May '20, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $22].

P: Med body; ALMOST swtish frt (threshold R.S.?) met by an astringent PUCKER which pretty much extends through the LONG, very slightly astringent finish. NEEDS 12-18 mos, I'm guessing, then potentially a steal @ the tasted $14.99. Silver @ ’17 S.F. Chronicle. [As of mid Mar '20, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $22].
