Bob Sacamano Likes this wine: 94 points
December 9, 2016 - From Coravin at Chateau. Ruby color with some modest bricking. Nose abounds with leather and some light animal/brett/cheese. Palate is red fruit dominant: strawberry and pomegranate, but also some black currant. Medium+ finish and still some discernable grip. Concentrated and slightly tart, but also fully evolved with every aspect in nice harmony. The clear winner of the vertical.
