  Same as previous note, but have to say this vintage is not as spectacular as others. Here is previous note, same score:Michael-David makes full-bodied, robust fruit-forward red wines with higher alcohol contents. That's not everyone's "style", but they do as well as anyone with that style, especially in this price range.
  This wine is no exception, a little young perhaps...would benefit from another 12-24 months in a cool cellar will make this even better. Dark Fruit-forward, touch of cigar box and licorice, but all that said, somewhat elegant and smooth- not "off-putting" at all. The wine is made for grilled fare and perhaps spicier fare. Do recommend and we buy with some frequency to have a red that can really stand up to nearly anything.
