Wow. This is fantastic. It’s in a great spot for drinking currently. Don’t hesitate and pull a cork now. It’s fresh, balanced, and has a real delicate purity to it. With Chris Stapleton’s new album and a fireplace, one hell of a time. Easy 92 for me and definitely a great value. I’m buying MORE.

I wasn't a fan of this my first go around, but I had bought 6 so I was hopeful time would benefit it. Happy to report it does. This ages great. It picked up body from the barrel aging that I didn't find when it was young. Buy these on sale, and lay them down for a year and wow are they great!

4/7/2023 - 2020 Does not like this wine:
Out of the wine fridge and pulled the cork @ 55 degrees. Left it open and to come up a little short of room temp (68).
Pretty shy on the nose at opening. Waited another hour as I have not had this wine and have heard good things. Two hours later, not a lot more going on. Drank one glass, and I was so underwhelmed I put the cork back in and waited until the next day. My hope was the fruit would show up or some complexity would find it's way into the mix.
Next day, not much more. Drank like a $30 Spanish red wine without every finding any character and nowhere near the fantastic experiences I have had with the likes of Lopez Heredia.
Not a rebuy for me, and quite frankly one of the more disappointing experiences I've had in higher end wine. Bummer.
