MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 97 points
January 2, 2021 - Decanted for 5 or so hours and remained very structured and tannic. Ripe California fruit with earthy and mineral driven Bordeaux character. Needs at least 10 years in an attempt to soften the structure. The price point is painful now but at least it delivers.
