Wine Rating Methodology 96-100: One of the most enjoyable wines I have ever tasted. I would not hesitate to open this wine for any Master of Wine. 91-95: Extremely enjoyable wine that I would drink and buy again. Fantastic to open up for those who appreciate wine. 85-90: Decent to good wine. Weekday bottle you don’t feel guilty about not finishing. Below 85: would not drink or buy again. ***Price of wine vs. enjoyment (value) is taken into consideration ***I do not provide tasting notes as everyone’s palate is different, and will have a different experience.
Great stuff. Decanted 2+ hrs, really opened up and drinking so well. Dark blue / purple, no real sign of age, great aromas throughout. Terrific balance and length, a large style but not at all over the top. Great with grilled steaks, everything worked and in a great place right now.

Nose of dark fruit, black cherry. Still see this wine evolving based on tannin presence. Integrated minerality with blueberry and some raspberry on the palate which was very enjoyable. Tasted over two nights. Fun to see the difference between night one and two. Great value as well.
