Community Tasting Note

85 Points
Sunday, December 15, 2019 - Good, but not thrilling, a bit confectionery with too much creamy near marshmallow at times, yet it is good. This was heavily promoted by some local retailers so I picked up one sub-$20. Decent QPR, but not something I want to rush back for more.
85 for the wine, add 3 points for the absurdly heavy bottle for 88, pad with "six for Suckling" and I can see a 94 point wine here! But I see Suckling gave it a 98, so a full 10 spot over my "bottle-weighted" score. Who knows, maybe some bottle variation.

™My 1 taste was poured for me from a wine bar.
