It looks as though you tend towards the California (we collect French and Italian), but great wine is great wine -- and your notes and comments suggest you have both a palate and an appreciation like ours. Love to hear back from you -- and hopefully meet up. My handle is Old Claret.

You are right, it prob will be better with a year in the cellar and will amend my note accordingly, but would NOT cellar much longer (past 2023 or so) because of the heat on finish.
