P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish oak/frt (no particular order) beautifully counterbalanced by an acidity which keeps things in check into & through the LONG, balanced, tangy/swt finish, ANY *poss* bitterness being fine with food, I'd suspect. ARTFULLY done for NOW & may well hold through '21. My EXC-/EXC. [I found no other U.S. source with which to compare this vendor's now $31.95.]

P: LM, poss Med, body; RNDISH entry with NICE oak/frt counterbalanced by an acidity which sets the parameters into & through the LONG, balanced, tangy/swt (60:40) finish. For now & through '21, poss a tad longer. My EXC-/EXC, & I'd certainly listen to a case for the higher based upon the QPR of this vendor's $33.95, for which I no longer see competition.

P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with NICE frt braced by acidity which transitions into a LONG, but POSS very, VERY slightly tart finish *with* a tangy/swtness that encourages more. For now & through '20, + might still improve a tad. My EXC-. [I did not see another source with which to compare this vendor's $33.95.]

P: LM, poss Med, body; Rndish entry with NICE frt/oak (80:20) quickly met by tart acidity which continues to drive the bus through the quite LONG, TANGY/swt finish. Fairly tight, so SHOULD improve, then drink into (& poss through) '21. My EXC- with potential for 1-2 notches higher. [This vendor's $33.95 would seem very competitive as the only other current wine-searcher source I could find required purchasing an entire cs for the same price!]
