March 30, 2022 - I found the early bottles from this case to be very good and a great value. Then, I had at least two bottles that were OK, but did not outperform the price point as was the case with the earlier bottles. This bottle produced an experience on par with the earlier bottles. ....a deep/dark/fruity wine.

January 12, 2022 - After a couple of days of air, this is really nice indeed! Intriguing, pleasant, no harshness, not too anything. Well balanced — a treat.
Right after decanting, it had some unresolved sharpness and the fruit tasted quite young. Apparently it was too reductive and needed some oxidation to soften and blend, which it did. After getting sufficient air, it merits the good reviews. And quite a QPR, at around $20! Much better than countless wines that cost much more, have good reviews and have enough age
