One of the many wines tasted throughout the evening and this showing was stellar! I will sub classify this one on the more youthful bottles outside of the MacDonalds vertical. This reminds me of the Forman wines from the 90's.
Drinking beautiful now with many years ahead. Loved this wine with layers of fruit concentration, earth notes, hints of coffee and spice. The terrific balance just elevates this wine to a higher level. 98

Similar to prior notes after a 2.5 hour double decant, WOTN against some good wines; outstanding, but I suspect it will still improve, drink or hold, no rush
