Desmond Likes this wine: 95 points
March 21, 2019 - At least 95, perhaps more. Hard to breakdown, but so good right now. Starting to enter a secondary phase but still youthful, fruity and the tannins are not harsh or bitter. My bet is peak in 2 years. But it is not a crime to drink it now. Going on the net now to find more!
