  #63 of Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2020.
  그렇다고 해서 WS 평점이 엄청 높은 건 아니고 93점이다.
  그래도 결론부터 말하자면 오랜만에 꽤 만족스러운 미국식 보르도 블렌드.
  
  노즈에서는 검은 과실과 붉은 과실이 둘다 느껴지는 편이다.
  분명히 잘 익은 자두같은 느낌이 있는데, 동시에 검은 과실 특유의 음습함도 매력적이다.
  이어서 가죽향이니 초콜릿향도 나는 것이 보르도 와인이라고 해도 믿을 성 싶다.
  
  팔렛에서는 메를로가 주를 이룸에도 불구하고 탄닌이 묵직해서 놀랐다.
  아마 블라인드를 했으면 무조건 까쇼라고 했을 것 같은데 말이다.
  시간이 조금 지나니 탄닌이 조금 풀리는 것은 좋았으나 신 맛도 조금 올라와서 아쉽기도.
  
  이전 회사를 다녔을 때 구매했던 와인이니 벌써 산지가 (최소한) 3년이 넘은 와인.
  힘이 빠진 듯 빠지지 않은 느낌이 꽤나 좋았다.
  재구매 의향은 가격을 생각하면 망설여지나 올빈이 있다면 다시 도전해볼지도?

  Really solid red blend. More subtle and restrained than some California counterparts. Cassis, floral notes. Nicely balanced and drinking really well right now.

  Darker than some vintages, with black cherry more than berry influence. The acid balance tends lower, but doesn't get to jammy. Tannins are fine and well integrated, and the finish is long and lovely. Good vintage!

  took a while for the oak to blow off. big fruit forward. initially dark fruit which eventually turned to brighter red fruit and higher acidity. probably needs a few more years

  Tasted after 2 hours of air. I always thought this was a qualifiable decent red wine from Washington. Not today. This was drinking great. Tasted against 3 other heavy weights from Washington and this came out on top. In a perfect drinking window. Light floral on the nose. Tangy sweet red berry currents. Nice spice. Very interesting mid palate. Medium long finish. Very nice.
