What the hey.
It's either quality or not. Seriously trying to quantify with these numbers is pretty ridiculous, in my opinion.
This wine is good.
I had it decanted for a full 2 days and was soft and approachable with body and spices. I was surprised that it wasn't as new oak heavy as expected. Hardly detected the oak, which was nice.
From the bottle I left two glasses undecanted, which were even better: That slow ox effect, so good.
This 2015 will last for decades. In 2055 it will still be enjoyed. I don't recommend that to be your target date, but just to testify to its quality.
After initial opening and decant I was very surprised as to the quality for price. I paid under $30 for the bottle and this very much over delivered.2 people found this helpful 1,229 views
