Sadly, our last. Paired perfectly with chargrilled filet. No flaws. Minimal sediment. Moderate rim variation in the glass. Dark, dark red color. Full nose of red and blue fruits and flowers. Old world nose. Beautiful in the mouth. Low tannin and acid. Medium alcohol. Long finish. Unable to judge peak or not, but I will say: so, so ready to drink. And, just as in 2018 there is a lot of life left in this bottle. Enjoy.

This was really good wine, just not my preferred taste. Perfume and smokiness on the nose with hints of red fruit and herbs on the palate, long finish with hint of black licorice. I could see this being rated 2-3 points higher by folks who like CF-CS blends.

Wow! This is screaming good right now. Big nose of brooding red & black fruit. Soft silky tanins with a viscous mouthfeel and a long finish. Menthol/eucalyptus, black cherry, coconut and other warm tones on the palate. I've had a lot of Favia and this one is right up there at the top! Well done Andy & Annie.

Very worthy of its WS rating. Delicious. No flaws. Enjoyed as a stand alone. Kudos. Ready to drink, and, plenty of bottle life left in this one.
