This was a Christmas dinner magnum that I didn’t expect to like this much. Things were looking bleak when the top half of the cork crumbled into dust, but a little perseverance got the rest of the cork free with no further damage. The wine was undaunted, and it held up beautifully next to a 2016 Chateau Leoville Poyferre.

Lovely bottle. PnP for a Sunday night burger and baseball playoffs. Great nose with berry and red fruits. Slightly spare on the palate but refreshing.

PnP. Dark Oregon fruit with lots of silky structure underneath.
