I have consumed 5 bottles of this wine to date and I like the evolution of this wine. While some may argue that the wine is new world in style, I think with additional bottle age, the wines terroir will become more evident. This wine has a tremendous mouthfeel for such an inexpensive wine. Frankly, I think this wine is a steal at its current price.

Consumed over three hours and the wine continued to evolve beautifully. I suspected the wine was somewhat shut down and opted to decant a quarter of the bottle. Initially consumed with a red wine braised oxtail which paired well because the acidity of the wine cut right through the rich elements of my appetizer. Thereafter, consumed with salmon. Very complex wine but it needs time. I enjoyed the wine in the decanter better.

Gorgeous wine with lush fruit but also tremendous acidity and freshness, particularly for such a big wine. Excellent upside potential and a great value!
