City Squirrel Likes this wine: 97 points
July 1, 2021 - 97+. Blind tasted against a '17 MacDonald, '16 Vine Hill Ranch (VHR), '16 Cliff Lede Poetry, '14 Abreu Las Posadas, '13 Abreu Madrona Ranch. This and the Poetry had the best bouquet, ironically similar, but the Top 3 were for the majority of 6 drinkers was the VHR, Cliff Lede BTK and the Abreu Madrona. Hard to call a WOTN, but the VHR and Cliff Lede were both top contenders.

If you have multiple, I would give one a go so you can enjoy it throughout its evolution. If not, don’t worry, plenty of yrs ahead. Great juice.
