Wednesday, February 28, 2024 - Round 2. Much better than the previous bottle consumed late last year. A return to what I expect, suggesting the previous bottle perhaps wasn't perfect (or I didn't give it enough time!).
Much better mouthfeel, composed black fruit and red fruit palate. Small amount of oak coming through via notes of vanilla. Medium finish.
I would be a buyer again at Costco pricing // $40-50, but above that, I think I would rather put my dollars elsewhere.
