But reading the 2 peer reviews has me a bit concerned.
Can anyone else attest to these 2 reviews?1 person found this helpful Comments (4) -

October 17, 2020 - Loads of fruit- lacking structure or focus. Could have been my palate, I tasted it twice, once from club shipment and once at the winery. 2013 is the best by far, with 2012 coming in a close 2nd.

November 24, 2019 - Per the winery: The 2016 Fortis opens with a aromas of dark fruit, sweet oak, graphite, grand cracker, and macerated mix berries and cherries.t The entry is bright and leads to flavors of black cherry, licorice, licorice spice, dark chocolate, blueberries, and minerality. The fruit carries through layer upon layer, revealing depth and texture, and broadens across the palate with a Cocoa powder texture and mocha flavor. They barrel age the wine in their wineries caves to mature flavors and integrate plush, layered textures. This is a seamless wine with great finesse that will continue to age gracefully.
