Retail $38. I received two bottles of this wine as samples back in July of 2017 and I am finally getting around to popping the second bottle. Good thing as I don't think this is going to get any better. Don't get me wrong, it is still quite nice, but it seems to have slipped a bit since I tried that first bottle nearly five years ago. Still quite a bit of fruit on both the nose and the palate, with ample acidity and nice balance. The only real difference I can discern? This bottle ends up a bit short on the finish, but I think I nitpick. Excellent.
For a wine that was so highly praised by critics this is a good wine but not great - perhaps it need time to develop and is still too immature...but still it was ok - but our expectations were perhaps too high....

Nose of cherry and spice. Tastes of cherry, pomegranate, earth, spice, toast with soft acidity and low tannins. Nice value for a popular style.
