Not going to rate this because it just can’t be a wine that any serious person would try to sell for $60+. It’s a muddled, acidic, over-oaked, alcoholic, befuddling mess. Been open a couple hours and it’s been bad the whole time - so not sure what to make of it. I always discount Eric Guido’s descriptions and scores but he really outdid himself with this one. The only explanation is that this is a bad bottle but it’s not bad in any way that makes it seem like it’s flawed. I hope the next one is drinkable. As an addendum, I tried this each day for four straight. Only on the fourth day did it approach drinkability. I have no idea what the deal is with this wine. If this is what they intended to make, I cannot imagine why.

Spice box and floral tones. Red fruit and lighter mid-palate. Finish is clean if not simple.

Aromatic nose of blue and black fruits. Blackberry, black cherry, plum, light cocoa, leather. Soft mouthfeel with
medium acid & tannins.
