  May 12, 2023 - Solidly Very Good and nice with food. As another taster noted, there is some bite to it, whether you want to call it some harshness or not, but I didn't find it bad. I liked this wine and thought it gave a good mid+ weight showing that was true to varietal. Some tar and violet, herbs, earth. This was fully mature and I would drink up - I don't endorse the CT drinking window all the way out to 2029.
