  N: CLOSED, but I'd say *definitely* RIPE
  
  P: LM body; Rndish entry with NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which QUITE resolves by the LONG finish with a tangy/swtness to the few, firming, very, VERY fine tannins. For now & through '22. My VG+/EXC-; 92 pts ea WS & WE (9/1/19) @ $59, and 90 Dunnuck. [Check with this vendor if interested in their very COMPETITIVE price.]

  12/8/19, 4:38 AM - Halfeel, their website (with respect to stock) is NOT reliable. :( 'Twould be best to do what I do when it's other than a Sat (when I taste there): Phone them, & IF in stock, inquire re the price. ;)
