(JOSEPH PHELPS INSIGNIA) #3; VaynerPAZZZ (on QPR); NOSE-very attractive, good dark licorice, black currant, big, luscious; TASTE-these are VERY young, has similar issues to Opus1, ;but is more lush & better mouth-feel, very smooth on the mid-palate, but too dry and off-centered on the finish, black cherry, raspberry, cassis, hint of vanilla & oak; nice, but not astonishing, RP-91; WS-90; GV-90
