Portland Seth Likes this wine: 91 points
April 4, 2023 - Really clean lines with bright red fruit showing good lift, leather, cedar, faint herbs and talc. Maybe a little too Modern but very elegant and pure. Probably too young but I don't see this improving wildly.

One of my favorite wines I tried last year was their '04 Ugolaia, which I think they wind a little tighter -- I've never tried a younger Ugolaia, but it was in perfect shape at almost 20.
