I tried this wine maybe a year ago and was not impressed. When I first opened it last night, it tasted harsh. After a couple of hours decanting, it opened up beautifully. Also, it worked well with the meal, a spicy, lamb-shank adobo. This wine worked much better with the meal than the other bottle opened, a '16 Pago de Los Capellanes, which has good ratings.

Friendsgiving Dinner (Schur House - Riverwoods IL): Tasted double blind, and it seems like a ripe New World wine, but with firm structure. Enjoyable but the structure and jammy fruit combined to make it slightly non-descript to me.

Good structure and tannins. But this bottle seemed one dimensional and lacked complexity.

91p. Had 2015 last summer and it was quite flat, whole different wine today. Seems to get into its drinking window, great and well structured wine.
