September 15, 2018 - Sat, 09/15/18, $2 Tasting: Cf. the CellarTracker Article link [lower lft] to get specific info for this vintage.
N: An interesting melding of (faint) barnyard [or at least forest floor] with grass
P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, grapefrt tinged frt BRACED by a tangy acidity which transitions into a LONG, tangy/swt (60:40) finish. VERY nicely done for now & through '20! My EXC-. 92 pts, 91 with an "Editors' Choice" @ $20 WE, 90 WS, 88 pts Decanter Panel, & 87 WA. [This vendor's $13.95 puts it in the top quartile of wine-searcher's postings.] -
